Alaska Airlines Announces New Service Between Anchorage/Seattle and
Dallas/Fort Worth SEATTLE, Feb. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska
Airlines today announced twice-daily, nonstop service between
Seattle and Dallas/Fort Worth starting July 19, with daily
same-plane service to and from Anchorage, Alaska. "This route opens
up a new destination for our Alaska and Pacific Northwest
passengers, as well as provides a new carrier choice for
Dallas-area travelers," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska's executive
vice president of marketing and planning. "The addition of Dallas
is a continuation of Alaska's strategy to selectively expand our
network from Seattle and was facilitated by another carrier's
recent suspension of service between Seattle and Dallas/Fort
Worth." To kick off its new service, Alaska will offer introductory
fares of $148.50 each way to and from Seattle and $244 each way to
and from Anchorage that must be purchased by Feb. 28, 2005, for
travel through Nov. 17, 2005. Alaska will operate Boeing 737
aircraft on the routes. The flights to and from Dallas/Fort Worth
International Airport are timed for convenient connections with
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air points throughout the Pacific
Northwest, Canada and Alaska. Mileage Plan members will receive
double miles on any Alaska Airlines-operated Dallas flight, through
Aug. 31, 2005, when they register at http://www.alaskaair.com/.
During the past three years Alaska Airlines has expanded east and
south, connecting Seattle with its customers' favorite
destinations. Dallas/Fort Worth is Alaska's 12th destination added
since 2001. Other U.S. cities east of the Rockies served by Alaska
Airlines are Boston, Chicago, Denver, Miami, New York/Newark,
Orlando, Fla., and Washington, D.C. All flights to and from
Dallas/Fort Worth will be equipped with leather seats and Alaska's
recently launched digEplayer inflight entertainment system. The
state-of-the-art system gives Alaska's customers the choice of up
to 20 full-length features including first-run movies and TV shows.
