Next summer, Alaska Airlines will connect Anchorage to both New York City and San Diego with seasonal nonstop service.
Daily flights to New York’s JFK airport begin on June 13, 2024, and weekly flights to San Diego International will start on May 18, 2024. The JFK service will serve as the only nonstop between that airport and Anchorage.
“We’re eager to welcome guests to our great state from the city that never sleeps to the land of the midnight sun on Alaska’s new nonstop flight,” said Jillian Simpson, President and CEO of the Alaska Travel Industry Association (ATIA).
“Summer is an incredible time to visit Alaska with our warm, long days. There’s so much to do in Anchorage and in the smaller towns nearby, mapping out your itinerary might be the toughest thing you do before heading west.”
With these new routes, Alaska Airlines will fly from Anchorage to 14 nonstop destinations in the continental U.S. and Hawaii during the summer. That will include Chicago, Denver, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Seattle, and Seattle/Everett (Paine Field)—along with the two newly announced destinations.
The Anchorage-JFK route, logging in at 3,386 miles, will become the longest flight in the Alaska Airlines network, and will use the company’s new 737-8 aircraft. These new planes will have the longest range of any in the airline’s fleet.
The airline’s First Class and Premium Class guests enjoy early boarding and the most generous legroom of all domestic carriers. With power outlets at every seat on its mainline aircraft, customers can enjoy free movies and TV shows streamed to their own devices during the flight.
The aircraft are also enabled with streaming-fast satellite Wi-Fi available for purchase.
