SEATTLE, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines
today announced it will start new nonstop service between
San Diego and Hayden/Steamboat
Springs, Colorado. Just in time for next season's ski
season, the seasonal service will begin Dec.
17, 2016, and run through March 25,
2017.
This represents an expansion of service beyond the nonstop
flights operated between Seattle
and Hayden/Steamboat Springs, and is a testament to the
popularity of the area's ski resort. In addition, it adds yet
another winter resort destination for San Diegans and complements
existing nonstop service to popular resorts including California's Mammoth Mountain Ski Resort and
many other resorts near Salt Lake
City.
"Just as people begin to make vacation plans for the upcoming
ski season, Alaska Airlines has introduced the first-ever nonstop
service between San Diego and
Steamboat Springs," said
John Kirby, the airline's vice
president of capacity planning. "We are pleased to offer
San Diego customers another new
nonstop destination, where they can continue to enjoy the benefits
of our award-winning customer service and loyalty program."
