Alaska Adds 3 New Nonstop Routes at San Diego Airport
Alaska Airlines announced this week that it will launch three new nonstop routes from San Diego later this year.
New nonstops from San Diego include Chicago O’Hare, Denver and Phoenix, all with multiple daily departures. Alaska is also significantly expanding the number of frequencies on the most popular routes by 50% or more.
New nonstop routes with year-round service will kick off with flights between San Diego and Phoenix on Aug. 20, followed by Chicago O’Hare and Denver on Oct. 4. Each route will be served by three daily flights.
Starting Oct. 26, the airline will also add flights to select routes that are most popular from San Diego with an increase in frequencies of 50% or more. That means six daily nonstops to Las Vegas, Sacramento and San Jose, Calif., and three daily flights to Salt Lake City.
Tickets for the new routes can be purchased now at alaskaair.com, with the flights for the expanded schedule available for purchase beginning this weekend.
With these new additions and the combined Alaska and Hawaiian Airlines network, the carrier will serve 44 nonstop destinations from San Diego, along with more than 90 peak-day departures. This includes flights to the East Coast, the Northwest, throughout California, Mexico, Florida and to all four major islands in Hawaiʻi.
