“Travel demand to leisure destinations to relax and recharge remains strong, especially to sun and fun locations as cooler weather settles in,” said Kirsten Amrine, Vice President of Revenue Management and Network Planning for Alaska Airlines.

Amrine also noted that Seattle’s Paine Field service is Alaska’s first regularly scheduled service connecting to Hawaii. The airline currently flies nonstop from nearby Seattle (SEA) to Honolulu, as well as Kona (KOA), Kahului (OGG), and Kauai (LIH). Alaska also offers flights from several West Coast destinations to Hawaii, including Anchorage (ANC), Los Angeles  (LAX), Portland, San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO), and San Jose (SJC).
