Hawaii, Alaska, Mexico - Alaska Airlines Can Take You There

By Athena Hunter


Alaska Airlines began as a small Alaskan airline in the 1930s, and has since expanded to a major carrier serving destinations throughout North America. Do you have an itch to visit the huge state of Alaska? It's becoming very popular for vacationers with a taste for adventure, as a cruise destination, and just for those who have a curiosity about Alaska. Alaska Airlines works diligently to expand to keep up with this growing interest in Alaska. If you are a traveler doing research into travel to Alaska or up and down the Pacific Coast of America, you have many pleasant surprises in store when you check out Alaska Airlines.

This airline does not only go to Alaska, but also travels to a multitude of destinations throughout the United States and Canada. While they offer a larger number of flights to West Coast destinations, as well as (obviously) Alaska, the fact is, you can begin your trip from locations such as Newark, NJ (close to NY), Boston or Chicago. Using Alaska Airlines for your West Coast or Alaskan trips is a no-brainer regardless of where you are originating from. Alaska Airlines is not simply a regional airline that travels only on the West Coast, but across the nation as well.

Most people will inadvertently choose Alaska Airlines when they want to fly anywhere in the interior of Alaska; not only to the major cities like Juneau, Anchorage, or Fairbanks, but to 20 total locations throughout the state. But they also offer frequent flights to popular cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle. If your vacation or business plans include a flight north of America, they will be pleased to fly you to Vancouver, British Columbia, in Canada. All in all, if you have flight plans that will take you to any western location in North America, Alaska Airlines is a very applicable carrier to choose. One of the most pet-friendly airlines in the industry is Alaska Airlines. Going on a trip without their pets is something that many people could not imagine doing. Having the correct documentation with you showing that your animal is healthy and has been properly vaccinated is very important when traveling. As long as your animals are in a proper container, they can go along with you in a coach or first-class flight. Placing your animal in the climate controlled baggage compartment is also an option. Bringing your animal with you and having it close is definitely possible with Alaska Airlines.

With over 19 hours of daylight in the middle of the summer, Anchorage is a good place to visit. So, obviously, if you want more time to explore Alaska, you should plan your trip during the summer months. While Alaska Airlines flies to this great state year round, many people like to time their visit to take advantage of the extra daylight hours.

Social media sites are a great way to learn about flight delays, special offers and deals, and miscellaneous information for people who like to fly. You can also get a lot of current information if you go online and check out the FlyerTalk Community. Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines employees are there and ready with answers to many of your questions.

To summarize, Alaska Airlines has more to offer than many people realize, especially if you're going anywhere in the Western U.S. or Canada. And, of course, you can also fly with Alaska Airlines to such exotic places as Puerto Vallarta, Mexico or Maui, Hawaii, as well as fun places like Disneyland and Las Vegas. Alaska Airlines makes it their mission to make sure their passengers are as comfortable as possible, especially on flights that last a long time. Alaska Airlines prides itself on being a leader in the use of new technologies, a fact that is well-known in the airline industry. These are some of the reasons more people are choosing Alaska Airlines, whether for vacations or business travel.
