Winter travel options just got a bit brighter! Alaska Airlines has added its first-ever flights to the Bahamas with nonstops from both Los Angeles and Seattle. Nassau will become the 101st destination from its main base at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. They’re also increasing service to Mexico with new routes between Las Vegas and both Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta. All four new international routes begin flying in mid-December.

Pack Your Bags For The Bahamas
There’s a continuing strong demand by travelers who want to venture to leisure destinations – whether it’s a short plane flight along the West Coast or heading to a distant international location. It’s not too early to start planning ahead and taking the time now to book vacations for early next year. With more 737-9 aircraft entering its fleet, Alaska Airlines have planes that offer a greater range to fly longer distances, such as Seattle to Nassau.
“We’re excited to add a ‘new dot’ to our route map and believe our guests will appreciate the convenience of nonstop service to the Bahamas this winter,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning for Alaska Airlines. “Whether our guests choose to stay in Nassau, or venture to the outer islands, the pristine beaches and crystal clear waters of the Bahamas await.”
“SEA welcomes another dynamic, sunny winter destination – the first time Nassau has been served with nonstop service from Seattle,” said Lance Lyttle, managing director at SEA Airport. “Alaska Airlines is providing that opportunity for fun and sun to go with destinations from Mexico to Hawaii – choices Seattle travelers will surely be happy to have!”
“We are thrilled to share in the anticipation of Alaska Airlines’ inaugural flight to the pristine shores of the Bahamas, opening a treasure trove of experiences for travellers,” said Bahamas Prime Minister Hon. Philip E. Davis. “For those looking to escape to our enchanting white beaches, turquoise waters and vibrant culture, this new connection provides an effortless path. We can’t wait to extend our warm Bahamian welcome to the visitors from afar, ushering in a new chapter of tourism and cultural exchange. We welcome and look forward to this new partnership.”
New Mexico Flights From Las Vegas
Las Vegas becomes a new Alaska gateway to two of Mexico’s most popular destinations from the West Coast: Cabo San Lucas and Puerto Vallarta.
Both flights depart Las Vegas late in the morning for a midday arrival. A new seasonal flight between San Luis Obispo and Las Vegas, which also begins in mid-December, will offer an easy connection to Mexico for our guests along California’s Central Coast.
New Route Schedule Beginning In December
Alaska’s new sun and fun routes will offer seasonal service that begins in mid-December. These new flights will give sun-seekers flights to the tropics through early April.
Final Thoughts
Alaska Airlines continues its cross-country routes by adding its latest international destination of the Bahamas. This is a great choice for those on the west coast looking for the sun during the winter gloom with getaways from both Seattle and Los Angeles. Nevada residents also get new seasonal service to Mexico. Seasonal service will give Alaska Airlines a chance to test the water for possible year around service. Alaska Airlines is offering introductory fares on all new routes. The new Bahamas routes could be just the ticket if you need an end-of-the-year mileage run.
