Alaska Airlines bolsters service from Anchorage and Portland with seven new routes, including nonstop flights to Boston, Jackson Hole and four Washington state cities

Alaska Airlines continues to strengthen our network with new nonstop routes from our key hubs in Anchorage and Portland to destinations across the country – offering our guests convenient travel options and improved connectivity.

Beginning in spring next year, we’ll fly three additional routes from Anchorage to Boise, Boston and Spokane, and four additional routes from Portland to Bellingham, Everett/Paine Field and Pasco in Washington state, and Jackson Hole in Wyoming.

New Anchorage Routes

Flights between Anchorage and Boise, Boston and Spokane begin in mid-June for service through mid-August – just in time for summertime adventures in the Land of the Midnight Sun, when the days are long and the air is warm. Those new flights add up to 17 nonstop destinations to the Lower 48 and Hawai‘i, the most we’ve ever served in the summer.

  • The twice-weekly service connecting Anchorage to Boise is an all-new route for us, with roundtrips offered on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
  • Our weekly flight between Anchorage and Boston will welcome guests from New England heading west to Alaska’s largest city for exploration, culture, food and maybe even a cruise.
  • We’ll also serve Anchorage-Spokane twice a week. It has been 10 years since we last flew this route, so we’re excited to reconnect Eastern Washington to Alaska with a nonstop flight, along with convenient flight times.
  • Due to strong demand, we’ve added a second weekly nonstop between Anchorage and both Sacramento and San Diego for the summer season.

New Portland routes

With four new routes next spring and summer, we’ll offer our guests convenient connections at PDX to more than 65 nonstop destinations, including Hawai‘i and Mexico.

  • New flights begin as early as mid-March with all-new daily, year-round service between Portland and Bellingham, Washington.
  • In mid-June, we’ll start flying twice daily between Portland and Pasco, Washington. The flights will be offered year-round.
  • We’ll resume daily, year-round flights on June 10 between Portland and Everett, Washington, home of Paine Field Airport – the Seattle region’s second airport.
  • For a long summer stretch, we’ll fly nonstop between Portland and Jackson Hole, Wyoming, twice a week starting June 10.
  • Also of note: As we resume our daily Portland-Fairbanks service in the summer, it’ll be served by a larger 737 aircraft.
