Alaska Airlines Adds Flights to Hawaii
In October of 2007 Alaska Airlines will offer new flights between
Seattle Washington and Hawaii and in December of 2007 they will
offer a new seasonal flight between Anchorage Alaska and Hawaii.
On May 31, 2007 Alaska Airlines announced new service to Hawaii from Seattle, Washington State
and Anchorage, Alaska. The airline will offer year-round daily flights beginning October
12, 2007 between Seattle-Tacoma International Airport and Honolulu, and nonstop between
Seattle and Lihue on the island of Kauai starting October 28, 2007. It will also launch
seasonal service between Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and Honolulu
starting December 9, 2007. The flights are available for purchase now at
alaskaair.com.
"Our customers will now be able to enjoy Alaska's special brand of service when
visiting the Aloha state," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska Airlines' executive vice
president of flight and marketing. "Hawaii is the largest market out of Seattle
and Anchorage that we didn't already serve. These long-awaited routes, including
the first nonstop service between Seattle and Kauai, expand the leisure travel
options we can offer our customers and Mileage Plan members."
The new service will provide convenient connections to travelers in other cities
served by Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air throughout the Pacific Northwest and
state of Alaska.
To inaugurate the new service, Alaska Airlines is offering introductory one-way
fares of $109 for Seattle-Honolulu flights, $149 for Seattle-Lihue flights and
$159 for Anchorage-Honolulu flights. Customers must purchase their tickets by
June 2, 2007, and travel by December 13, 2007, from Seattle or by February 14, 2008,
from Anchorage. Additional restrictions and blackout dates apply.
