Alaska to Offer Nonstops Between Anchorage and Las Vegas, Resumes
Nonstops Between Anchorage and Los Angeles SEATTLE, Sept. 16
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska Airlines today announced its
first-ever non-stop service between Anchorage and Las Vegas and the
resumption of year-round non-stop service between Anchorage and Los
Angeles. The inaugural Anchorage-LasVegas flight will be on
November 5 followed the next day by the resumption of non-stop
service between Anchorage and Los Angeles. Each route will be
serviced by 737-700 aircraft. "Each of these flights reflects our
commitment to continue improving service for our customers in
Alaska," said John MacLeod, managing director of planning. "We've
targeted peak travel days to ensure added convenience for customers
at the times when they want to travel." Alaska's existing schedule
offers 16 daily flights between Anchorage/Fairbanks and the Lower
48 and will continue unchanged, MacLeod said. While Alaska has
provided Anchorage-Los Angeles nonstop service on a seasonal basis,
resumption of the ANC-LAX nonstop flight November 6 will be on a
permanent year-round basis. "This nonstop service to Los Angeles
will offer several advantages for our customers flying on peak
travel days," MacLeod observed, "including great connections to
flights to Mexico: Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Ixtapa/Zihuatanejo,
Manzanillo, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas. And the flights will
provide convenient connections with American Airlines and American
Eagle partner flights at LAX." Brad Walker, Alaska's director of
leisure marketing, hailed the new nonstop service as offering
vacationers convenient new options. "We will be offering attractive
vacation packages featuring an assortment of the finest hotels in
Las Vegas and Mexico through Alaska Airlines Vacations. Our
customers really appreciate the ease of nonstop service." Details
