Alaska Airlines Increases Service to Dallas/Fort Worth

Alaska Airlines today announced it will add a third daily nonstop flight between Dallas/Fort Worth and Seattle on June 4. The airline also will add a second daily flight connecting Dallas/Fort Worth and Anchorage, Alaska, with same-plane connecting service through Seattle.

"Dallas/Fort Worth has been a successful addition to our route structure as it’s a market that many of our Pacific Northwest and Alaska travelers already frequent," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska’s executive vice president of marketing and planning. "We’re happy to offer these additional flights, which make our schedule very convenient for business travelers."

Alaska operates the Dallas/Forth Worth route on a Boeing 737 aircraft with leather seats. All flights include complimentary hot snack service and Alaska’s personal digEplayer inflight entertainment system, a handheld video- on-demand device offering customers first-run movies, television programs and other entertainment.
