Alaska Airlines Cancels More Flights Due To Severe Winter Weather in Pacific Northwest

Alaska Airlines has canceled about half its flights today to and from Portland, Ore., and Seattle due to severe winter weather that is limiting its operations. The airline canceled 61 Saturday flights and said more cancellations or delays are possible.

Before leaving for the airport, customers are advised to check for the most current flight status information online at alaskaair.com or by calling 1-800-ALASKA-AIR (1-800-252-7522).

"We regret the impact these cancellations are having on our customers’ holiday travel plans," said Ben Minicucci, Alaska Airlines’ chief operating officer. "These decisions are guided by our commitment to safety, and we are making every effort to re-accommodate passengers whose flight schedules have been disrupted."

Passengers booked on a canceled flight may re-book on the next available flight without penalty or apply for a full refund of the unused portion of their ticket. Passengers wishing to exercise either of these options should call Alaska Airlines Reservations at 1-800-ALASKA-AIR (1-800-252-7522).
