This winter, we're expanding our guests'
options with nonstop service to two exciting international
destinations
SEATTLE, July 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Alaska Airlines is excited to announce an expansion
of our international network with two new Mexico destinations starting this winter.
We'll soon start flying between Los
Angeles and breathtaking La
Paz, as the only U.S. carrier serving the coastal Mexican
destination. We'll also become the only U.S. airline to offer daily
nonstop flights between Los
Angeles and the bustling city of Monterrey when we begin service in
February.
During the winter months, our guests search for warm-weather
travel destinations. Our new nonstop service to La Paz (LAP) and Monterrey (MTY) caters to that demand by
offering our guests the perfect escape to sunny skies, a vibrant
city experience and warm hospitality. It's never too early to start
booking your winter vacation. Tickets are available starting the
afternoon of July 3 on
alaskaair.com.
"We recently celebrated 35 years of service to Mexico and are proud to connect travelers with
the rich culture and natural beauty of the country. We look forward
to continuing to serve as the carrier of choice from the West
Coast, especially as we prepare to start service to these popular
destinations in Mexico," said
Kirsten Amrine, vice president of
revenue management and network planning at Alaska Airlines.
We're proud to be the #1 U.S. carrier with the most flights,
seats and nonstop routes to Mexico
from the West Coast. This announcement continues our longstanding
commitment and plans for growth in the region.
Our new nonstop service to LAP and MTY from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
enables guests to easily connect from cities across our network.
From our hub at LAX, we continue to offer the most flights to the
most destinations across Latin
America and the Caribbean
of any carrier – which includes almost 16 average daily departures
this winter to 15 cities throughout the region.
La Paz,
Mexico
This year, we will become the only carrier offering nonstop
service between the United States
and La Paz where you'll find some
of the world's best diving and sport fishing. We're excited to
offer flights year-round with service up to three times weekly.
"We appreciate Alaska Airlines' confidence in investing in the
virtues of La Paz and providing it
with the opportunity to expand its borders by connecting with
the United States. Especially with
its flight to Los Angeles,
California, which we are sure will be a success," said
Maribel Collins, minister of tourism
and economy of Baja California Sur. "For the Government of
Baja California Sur, tourism is
one of the pillars that drives the state's economy. Therefore, we
are highly committed to promoting actions that benefit this
important sector through our tourism trusts, which day by day seek
alliances for the benefit of all."
"Connecting La Paz with Los
Angeles is an important step for internationalizing this
airport which has grown passengers significantly over the past
three years. We thank Alaska Airlines for offering this
flight to one of the most beautiful destinations in Mexico and look forward to welcoming travelers
to La Paz and continuing to
provide greater ease for foreign tourists to visit this city," said
Raúl Revuelta Musalem, CEO of the
Pacific Airport Group.
Monterrey,
Mexico
We're adding daily service from Los
Angeles to Monterrey,
Mexico's second-largest metro area. The popular destination
offers dramatic peaks of the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountain range
and a vibrant food scene, including several Michelin-starred
restaurants. Immerse yourself in history with a visit to one of the
city's many museums or satisfy your love for the outdoors with a
visit to the Huasteca Canyon, a popular rock climbing area located
on the outskirts of the city.
"We are pleased to announce that Alaska Airlines will
begin operations from Monterrey Airport to Los Angeles, expanding its services from our
airports along with Mazatlan and
Zihuatanejo," said Ricardo Dueñas,
CEO of Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro
Norte. "Through LAX, this new route will offer access to new
destinations on the West Coast, as we continue to increase
international connectivity from Monterrey to meet both business and leisure
travel demand."

advantage of a premium travel experience on any Alaska flight with no change fees, the most
