Alaska Airlines Announces Permanent Fund Dividend Fares No Friday
or Saturday Night Stay Required SEATTLE, Sept. 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alaska Airlines' popular Permanent Fund
Dividend (PFD) fares are now on sale offering low fares and even
more flexibility than last year's offer. And, in step with Alaska's
new Common Sense pricing, the PFD fares don't require a Friday or
Saturday night stay. The fares represent savings of up to 35
percent off the lowest everyday excursion fare for in-state travel
to and from Anchorage, Fairbanks and Juneau and even more savings
on select routes to and from the Lower 48, Canada and Mexico. The
fares are also available for travel from outside Alaska to most
destinations within Alaska. Alaska Airlines' PFD Fares are
available for immediate purchase and don't require a PFD batch card
or check stub. Tickets must be purchased by November 4, 2004 and
travel completed by September 6, 2005. The fares are designed to be
booked in advance. However realizing that customers oftentimes need
to change plans, the airline allows one itinerary change with no
change fee. Additionally, the fares boast no blackouts, no charge
for peak-day or seasonal travel, no red-eye requirements, no fuel
surcharges and no maximum stay. Travelers can save an additional
$10 roundtrip when tickets are purchased online using a MyAlaskaAir
account at http://www.alaskaair.com/ for travel complete by
December 15, 2004. Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members will also
rack up an additional 1,000 bonus miles for their purchase on
alaskaair.com. Sample Alaska Airlines PFD fares, roundtrip,
