Alaska Airlines Just Announced a New Cross-country Route From Its Portland Hub
20.06.2024 - 20:41 / travelandleisure.com / Kirsten Amrine / Louis Armstrong
It just got easier to visit «The Big Easy» from the West Coast.
Alaska Airlines recently announced new direct service connecting their popular Portland, Oregon hub to a new destination, New Orleans, Louisiana.
Travelers seeking this route on Alaska currently have to connect through Seattle, and the flight can take as long as nine hours. The new, direct flight will only take four hours and 25 minutes.
Alaska’s passengers will depart Portland at 9:05am and arrive into New Orleans at 3:30pm.
Tickets for the new service are currently on sale, and the inaugural flight for the new route will take place in January 2025, although the release did not specify which day. Prices for the route in the «Saver» category on Alaska are as low as $149, with first class tickets available for $529, one-way, according to Alaska’s booking website.
The flight will be operated on a Boeing 737-900.
“As the largest carrier in Portland for more than 20 years, it’s important we continue to expand the nonstop destinations we offer our guests and give them choices when planning their next trip,” Alaska Airlines’ Vice President of Revenue Management and Network Planning Kirsten Amrine said in the release.
New Orleans is best known for its music, food, and the popular Mardi Gras festival. Portland is often popular with outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy the bike pathways, hiking, and water adventures.
“Portland has been the top unserved destination from New Orleans, and this new route not only strengthens the connection between our vibrant cities but also underscores our commitment to enhancing the travel experience for our community and visitors alike,” Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport Director of Aviation Kevin Dolliole said in the release.
Alaska Airlines has been on the move adding new routes to their network, including a new cross-country New York to Anchorage route, as well as Las Vegas to San Diego.
