Summary
Alaska Airlines has announced three new routes from Sonoma County’s Charles M. Schulz Airport (STS) to Phoenix, Salt Lake City, and Boise, Idaho, starting November 1. This move comes just weeks after Southwest Airlines launched service from Santa Rosa and mirrored Alaska’s “wine flies free” policy. Alaska will link a dozen cities to Santa Rosa, and the airport has seen a notable increase in air service this year, with the total number of departures up nearly 20% versus last year.
Our Reading
The destination is rediscovered.
Alaska Airlines is expanding its service in Sonoma County, adding three new routes to its existing network. The airline is also returning to Long Beach Airport (LGB) after a decade, with nonstop service to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). The move comes as the airline bolsters its West Coast network and takes steps towards becoming a global airline. The “wine flies free” policy is a clear nod to tourists visiting Sonoma wineries. The escape is carefully planned, with a dozen cities linked to Santa Rosa and a rapidly increasing number of flight options available.
Wine country, carefully packaged and served with a side of “wine flies free”.
