SEATTLE, May 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska Airlines will
offer more nonstop flights between Seattle and Cancun, Mexico,
beginning Oct. 28, moving from four flights a week to daily
service. The flights, offering convenient connections from cities
throughout the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and Canada, are available
for purchase at alaskaair.com or by calling (800) ALASKAAIR. Alaska
inaugurated nonstop Seattle-Cancun service last winter and operates
the route during Mexico's peak tourism season, from late October to
late April. "Our new nonstop service from Seattle to Cancun was in
high demand last season, so we're offering even more flights during
the season ahead," said Brad Walker, Alaska's director of leisure
marketing. "The added nonstops make Mexico's beach resorts even
more accessible to customers in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska,
Canada and beyond." Alaska increased its capacity on Mexico flights
by more than 20 percent last fall, offering more frequent flights
on existing routes and adding five new nonstop routes. In addition
to Seattle-Cancun service, the airline introduced flights between
Los Angeles and La Paz; San Francisco and Cancun; Portland, Ore.,
and Los Cabos; and Portland and Puerto Vallarta. The airline offers
seasonal nonstop service from Seattle to four Mexico destinations,
including daily service to Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta, and two
flights a week to Mazatlan. Customers can travel year-round to all
10 of Alaska's Mexico destinations on flights connecting or
stopping in Los Angeles or San Francisco. Alaska Airlines Vacations
offers vacation packages, including round-trip air travel and hotel
accommodations, to all of its Mexico resort destinations. Alaska's
mealtime flights to Mexico's resort destinations offer the
airline's Northern Bites meals-for-purchase service, which allows
coach passengers to purchase a meal onboard for $5. The airline
introduced service to Mexico in 1988 and now transports more than
1.2 million passengers annually between the U.S. West Coast and
Mexico. During its upcoming winter schedule, the airline will
operate up to 44 flights daily serving 10 Mexican destinations,
including Cancun, Guadalajara, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo, La Paz, Loreto,
Los Cabos, Manzanillo, Mazatlan, Mexico City and Puerto Vallarta.
Alaska Airlines and its sister carrier, Horizon Air, serve 90
cities through an expansive network in Alaska, the Lower 48, Canada
and Mexico. This year Alaska Airlines celebrates its 75th
anniversary, marking the airline's growth from a single-aircraft
operation in 1932 to one of the largest U.S. carriers. For
