Alaska Airlines is inaugurating round-trip service between Seattle and New Orleans today.
Famous for its cuisine, music (particularly as the birthplace of jazz) and the Mardi Gras, New Orleans is often referred to as the “most unique” city in America.
Alaska Airlines is the only carrier offering nonstop service between Seattle and New Orleans. Flights will operate daily, year-round.
“We’re pleased to make it extra easy to get to the Big Easy, especially for travelers in the Seattle area and the Pacific Northwest,” said Joe Sprague, senior vice president of communications and external relations. “New Orleans’ rich cultural heritage, fascinating history, food, festivals, arts and accessible nature make it an appealing destination for anyone with a sense of adventure.”
Summary of new service:
Start date City pair Departs Arrives Frequency
June 12 Seattle-New Orleans 10:15 a.m. 5 p.m. Daily
June 12 New Orleans-Seattle 5:55 p.m. 8:50 p.m. Daily
All times based on local time zones
The New Orleans service contributes to a plan to increase Alaska Airlines departures out of Seattle 11 percent by next spring. Alaska’s daily flights from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport will increase from 253 to 280, giving travelers more options to the places they want to fly most.
Other previously announced new service includes Albuquerque, New Mexico, Baltimore, Detroit, Tampa, Florida, and Cancún, Mexico.
Summary of other new daily Seattle service:
• Seattle – Tampa: starting June 20
• Seattle – Baltimore: starting Sept. 2
• Seattle – Detroit: starting Sept. 4
• Seattle – Albuquerque: starting Sept. 18
• Seattle – Cancún: starting Nov. 6 pending governmental approval
