Continuing to bolster its network, Alaska Airlines has announced service from Anchorage and Portland that includes seven new routes and nonstop flights to Boston, Jackson Hole and four Washington state destinations.

New Anchorage Routes

Flights between Anchorage and Boise, Boston and Spokane begin in mid-June for service through mid-August. The new flights add up to 17 nonstop destinations to the Lower 48 and Hawai‘i, the most the airline has ever served in the summer.

  • The twice-weekly service connecting Anchorage to Boise is an all-new route with roundtrips offered on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
  • Weekly flights between Anchorage and Boston will welcome guests from New England heading west to Alaska’s largest city.
  • Anchorage to Spokane will be serviced twice a week.  
  • A second weekly nonstop has been added between Anchorage and both Sacramento and San Diego for the summer season.

New Portland Routes

Four new routes in spring and summer 2026 will offer guests convenient connections at PDX (Portland) 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.
  • Year-round twice daily service between Portland and Pasco, Washington will begin mid-June.
  • Daily year-round flights will be resumed on June 10 between Portland and Everett, Washington, home of Paine Field Airport.
  • Twice-daily nonstop service between Portland and Jackson Hole, Wyoming starts June 10 for a long summer stretch.
  • Daily Portland-Fairbanks service resumes in the summer, served by a larger 737 aircraft.

"Anchorage and Portland are essential airports to our guests and us in our growing global network,” said Kirsten Amrine, Alaska Airlines vice president of revenue management and network planning.

“The state of Alaska remains high on the wish list of travelers, especially in the summer months, and we’re excited to add new nonstops to get them there," Amrine continued. "Portland is not only a great city to visit, but we also offer convenient nonstop connections for those continuing their travel across our wide network.”
