Alaska Airlines is set to expand its flight offerings from Anchorage this summer, introducing new seasonal nonstop flights to Detroit and Sacramento. The weekly roundtrip flights are scheduled to commence on June 14, 2025. Additionally, the airline will resume daily nonstop service between Fairbanks and Portland starting May 15, 2025.

Kirsten Amrine, Vice President of Network Planning and Revenue Management at Alaska Airlines, emphasized the convenience these routes offer: “Our new routes provide guests with more options than ever to vacation this summer in the great state of Alaska. The nonstop flights from Detroit and Sacramento will put travelers right in the heart of Alaska by skipping a layover, and Portlanders can enjoy nonstop service to Fairbanks.”

There’s so much to do around Anchorage... For Alaskans, we now have even more nonstop destinations to visit family and friends this summer.”
