SEATTLE, Dec. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska Airlines
Vacations today introduced vacation packages to more than 25
popular destinations in Europe and Asia, including London, Paris,
Rome, Hong Kong and Tokyo. The new travel packages are designed to
make European and Asian vacations convenient to plan, especially
for customers traveling from cities served by Alaska Airlines and
its sister carrier, Horizon Air. The new offerings continue Alaska
Airlines Vacations' move to offer a wider range of vacation
packages to destinations beyond the airline's own route system. The
packages are provided in partnership with MLT Vacations and include
international flights operated by Northwest Airlines, an Alaska
Airlines travel partner. "By adding Europe and Asia to the mix,
Alaska Airlines Vacations now offers popular vacation possibilities
not only in North America, but around the world," said Brad Walker,
Alaska's director of leisure marketing. "Even though we don't fly
to Europe and Asia, the partnership allows our customers to
experience the same high level of service they expect from Alaska
Airlines Vacations -- even when they're traveling to places like
Rome and Tokyo." Following are examples of Alaska Airlines
Vacations package pricing. Sample package pricing listed includes
roundtrip airfare and a six-night hotel stay. Packages also are
available for shorter or longer time periods; with additions such
as ground tours, rental cars and transfers; and for travel
