In August 2025, Alaska Airlines changed its program from Mileage Plan to Atmos Rewards. Therefore, some of the information below may not be up-to-date.
Alaska Airlines will soon start daily nonstop service between its San Diego (SAN) focus city and Eugene, Oregon (EUG), Tampa (TPA), and Washington, D.C. (IAD).
Here’s a look at everything you need to know about these new routes!
These 3 new routes from San Diego bring Alaska’s total from the airport to 35, which means it’ll offer the most nonstop routes of any airline serving the Southern California city.
On June 15, 2023, Alaska will inaugurate service once-daily service to Dulles International Airport on a Boeing 737. This new route clocks in at just over 5 hours of flight time and it will compete against United on the route, which offers 3 flights per day.

IAD-SAN | 10:15 a.m. | 12:30 p.m. |
San Diego will soon join Los Angeles (LAX), Seattle (SEA), and San Francisco (SFO) as the fourth nonstop destination Alaska serves from Dulles.

Route | Departure | Arrival |
