This summer, Alaska announced a major expansion of its network, including new international destinations to Mexico, the Bahamas and Guatemala. . More than half of the 15 newly added routes will fly from airports Alaska serves in California. All of the routes, including Burbank to San Francisco, will begin in time for the holidays. 

“Alaska already connects guests from Burbank to destinations across California and along the Pacific Northwest,” said Frank Miller, Hollywood Burbank Airport executive director. “Thanks to Alaska Airlines, they’ll soon be a short flight to Burbank where they can be at a popular amusement park minutes after they land or hop over to scenic San Francisco and go sightseeing along the coast.”
