From Santa Rosa, Alaska will launch three new seasonal routes starting November 1, 2026. Daily flights to Phoenix and Salt Lake City, and up to daily service to Boise, will all operate through April 2027 aboard Embraer E175 aircraft. Salt Lake City and Boise are currently unserved markets from the North Bay and are timed to open just as ski season gets underway. Phoenix adds another popular leisure destination, bringing Santa Rosa\u2019s total nonstop network to 12 destinations. Alaska has been the largest carrier at the airport since it first brought commercial service there nearly two decades ago.<\/p>\n
For wine lovers, the airline\u2019s Wine Flies Free programme remains in place, allowing Atmos Rewards members to check a full case of up to 12 bottles at no extra charge \u2014 a handy perk for travellers bringing home Sonoma County vintages.<\/p>\n
The Long Beach news is equally significant. Alaska will resume service between Long Beach Municipal Airport and Seattle from September 8, 2026, with two daily year-round flights operated by Boeing 737 aircraft. The route marks the airline\u2019s return to LGB after a ten-year absence, and with it, Alaska becomes the only carrier connecting Seattle to all five major LA Basin airports.<\/p>\n
On the connectivity front, Alaska\u2019s entire regional fleet \u2014 including the E175s serving Santa Rosa \u2014 is already equipped with Starlink Wi-Fi, offering gate-to-gate internet access. Starlink is also being rolled out across the mainline fleet serving Long Beach throughout 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From Santa Rosa, Alaska will launch three new seasonal routes starting November 1, 2026.
