Alaska Airlines launched new daily, year-round nonstop flights between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu, as well as Portland and Miami.
"Travel demand to leisure destinations to relax and recharge remains strong, especially to sun and fun locations as cooler weather settles in," said Kirsten Amrine, Alaska's vice president of revenue management and network planning. "Our new nonstop between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu is our first regularly scheduled service connecting Paine Field to Hawaii. And our new coast-to-coast route between Portland and Miami links two destinations that were the largest underserved cities for each airport."
For a growing number of Alaska Airlines’ passengers, Seattle/Everett – home to Paine Field Snohomish County Airport – is a more convenient option with a smaller terminal and an upscale lounge atmosphere located about 25 miles north of downtown Seattle. A commercial service launched here in March 2019 when the new facility opened.
"For those traveling between Honolulu and Washington State, flying into Seattle/Everett can be a less congested option to access the greater Seattle area," said Daniel Chun, Alaska's regional vice president for Hawaii. “With this new flight,” he added, “we'll fly a combined six nonstops a day to the two Seattle area airports from Oahu, providing our leisure and business travelers with a variety of flight times that work best for them."
Alaska currently flies from eight West Coast gateways to Hawaii: Anchorage, Seattle/Everett, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego. Flights serve Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Island of Hawaii from these airports with an average of 30 nonstop, peak-daily flights.
In Portland, Alaska has been the largest carrier for over 20 years. The new service to Miami will bring nonstop destinations from the Rose City to a total of 52. Miami is the fourth Florida city Alaska serves nonstop from Portland, joining Fort Lauderdale, Orlando and Tampa. Nonstops to Miami are also available from Seattle.
Alaska continues to add new flights from its Portland hub – one of its key West Coast gateways. The airline recently announced a daily, year-round nonstop between Portland and Nashville that begins March 14, 2024.
That will make Alaska the only airline with nonstop service between these two destinations, with a convenient mid-morning departure from Portland and a late afternoon departure from Nashville.
