Alaska Airlines has announced 13 new nonstop routes and increased flight frequencies across key markets, including San Diego, Portland and Hawaii. 

The expansion also adds two new destinations to Alaska’s route map—Tulsa, Oklahoma (TUL) and Arcata-Eureka, California (ACV)—boosting its total network to 142 destinations.

Daily service will connect San Diego and Tulsa, while new flights from Seattle will reach both Tulsa and Arcata-Eureka, extending the airline’s reach from the Pacific Northwest to the U.S. heartland and Northern California’s Redwood Coast.

Stronger Connections on the West and East Coasts

Alaska Airlines will grow by more than 35 percent in San Diego next spring compared to 2025, introducing five new nonstop routes to Dallas-Fort Worth, Oakland, Raleigh-Durham, Santa Barbara and Tulsa. The airline will serve 49 nonstop destinations from San Diego and expand service to Santa Rosa-Sonoma with three daily flights.

From Portland, Alaska Airlines will launch four new routes to Baltimore, Idaho Falls, Philadelphia and St. Louis in May 2026. Additional frequency upgrades include a second daily flight to Newark and expanded year-round service to Līhu‘e (Kaua‘i).

A new summer seasonal route between Honolulu and Hollywood Burbank marks the first connection between the two airports in more than two decades, and the airline will offer a new intra-California route between Santa Rosa-Sonoma and Ontario. The airline will serve six California cities from the airport, including new seasonal service to Palm Springs launching this October.
