The service is good for flights within California, Nevada and Arizona, according to the Alaska Airlines website. Flight Pass members can choose from 100 daily flights between 16 West Coast cities, according to Fox Business. That includes nonstop service from California to Las Vegas, Phoenix and Reno, Nevada, the business outlet reported.
One-way and multi-segment bookings are not available under the current Flight Pass setup, according to Fox Business.
“Flight Pass builds on our mission to offer travelers the most West Coast destinations at the best value,” Alex Corey, managing director of business development and products for Alaska Airlines, said in a statement. “Our commitment to care means offering convenient and affordable options that fit our guests’ lifestyle and connect them to where they want to go. After two years of staying close to home, guests are ready to travel again.”
The standard Flight Pass plan requires customers to book flights at least two weeks before the scheduled flight. The Flight Pass Pro plan allows same-day booking up to two hours before departure, according to the Alaska Airlines news release.
There are other costs besides the subscription fee, but Alaska Airlines officials said most will amount to less than $15, KTLA-TV reported. Flyers still have to pay the government taxes and airport fees for each flight, as well as a nominal fare, which the airlines said can be as low as one cent for “most flights,” according to the television station.
“Alaska Airlines is uniquely positioned to help our West Coast guests experience more with direct access to destinations near and far from our expanding hubs,” Neil Thwaites, regional vice president of California for Alaska Airlines, said in a statement. “Flight Pass will provide more options, value and care with every trip that our guests book, while also transforming the travel experience long-term.”
