Just as the long days of summer have engulfed the state of Alaska, Alaska Airlines launched seasonal nonstop service today between Anchorage and New York JFK. It's the only nonstop service between the two airports. Flights are available for purchase at alaskaair.com for daily flights through Aug. 19.
The latest move is expected to boost Alaska Air's (ALK) competitive position in the airline industry.
Alaska Airlines is expanding our long-standing partnership with British Airways, a founding member of the oneworld alliance, to now enable our guests to purchase convenient, nonstop flights to London directly at alaskaair.com. Guests can buy British Airways flights at alaskaair.com for a seamless travel experience between London Heathrow and Alaska's gateway airports in Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego as well as Chicago and New York JFK.
