SEATTLE, Oct. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska Airlines was rated
the No. 1 airline in Conde Nast Traveler magazine's 2005 Business
Travel Awards. Published in the October issue, the annual survey of
the magazine's business travelers rated Alaska the top domestic
airline for coach and first-class service. Alaska Airlines edged
out nine of its U.S. counterparts, including five major carriers,
for its first-ever top ranking in the poll for premium service. In
past years, Alaska has rated in the top five in the survey. "We are
honored to receive this recognition, as it truly reflects all that
we've been doing to raise the bar in providing exceptional value
and service to our business travelers," said Tom Romary, the
airline's vice president of marketing. "We thank our employees who,
day-in and day-out, give the extra effort that makes such a
difference to our customers." Alaska received the highest ratings
for its cabin service and frequent flier privileges, and scored in
the top two for value for cost; food and beverages; and seat
comfort and legroom. The magazine polled more than 10,000 readers
who identified themselves as frequent business travelers. The
annual survey also rates international airlines and hotels. Among
carriers with single-class (coach-only) service, Alaska's sister
airline, Horizon Air, rated fifth and was the only regional airline
to make the list. Horizon was highly rated for its food and
beverages, cabin service and frequent flier privileges. Alaska
Airlines and Horizon Air together serve 88 cities through an
expansive network throughout Alaska, the Lower 48, Canada and
Mexico. For reservations visit alaskaair.com. For more news and
