Alaska Airlines adds three new nonstop routes across Oregon

Dan Pippenger, Chief Aviation Officer at the Port of Portland, commented on the development: “As passenger traffic at PDX continues to grow, so does the opportunity for airlines. We appreciate the continued partnership with Alaska that gives travelers more options to connect to major markets and more flights within our state.”

The new routes include strategic timing adjustments aimed at maximizing convenience for passengers. The Portland-Eugene service features an early morning departure from Eugene and a late evening return from Portland. Meanwhile, the Medford-San Diego flight offers convenient mid-day departures.

Further expansions within Oregon include increased frequency on existing routes starting May 15. The Portland-Medford route will now operate four times daily instead of once, while Portland-Redmond will be served year-round three times daily.

Alaska Airlines promises an enhanced travel experience with no change fees and generous legroom in First Class and Premium Class seats. Passengers can enjoy free streaming entertainment onboard along with other amenities such as satellite Wi-Fi and power outlets at every seat.

The airline's fleet includes E175 regional aircraft featuring three classes of service without middle seats.
