New heights, new features: Discover Alaska’s enhanced Flight Pass subscription service

Summary

We're introducing enhanced features to simplify booking through Flight Pass.

With Flight Pass, subscribers can lock in lower-than-average fares to select cities from California, Arizona, Nevada, and Utah for a year. Most flights cost just $0.01, plus taxes and fees.

Whether flying home from college, traveling for business or heading to Utah's world-class ski resorts, Alaska Airlines Flight Pass subscribers enjoy the unmatched convenience and affordability the service offers.

In 2021, we became the first U.S. airline to introduce a groundbreaking subscription service that allows guests to earn miles and book flights in advance with no blackout dates. Today we're thrilled to announce we've made Flight Pass even better.

Over the last two and a half years, we've asked subscribers to give us feedback on how to improve their guest experience. On Sept. 25, we're rolling out enhanced features to streamline the booking process through Flight Pass - making the overall user experience seamless and easy!

Subscribers can continue to lock in lower-than-average main cabin fares for an entire year, with most Flight Pass flights priced at just $0.01, plus applicable government taxes and airport fees. With Flight Pass, booking nonstop flights to select cities within California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah is easier than ever, offering peace of mind that you'll be getting the best value for your money with no change fees and blackout dates while credits are valid.

"Our subscribers value the flexibility and affordability of Flight Pass, and these new enhancements will make their travel experience even more seamless. We're proud to offer a unique service that enables guests to visit loved ones or their favorite destinations, all while securing a consistent monthly price on an airline that offers the most nonstop flights on the West Coast."

Perks that are here to stay:

Always pay lower-than-average main cabin fares. Subscribers are still required to pay applicable government taxes and airport fees on each flight (as low as $15.11 per flight), in addition to the monthly subscription fee and nominal fare.

We recognize that change isn't always easy. That's why we're offering current Flight Pass subscribers the option to switch to one of the above two plans at their current price for one year. Alternatively, current subscribers can choose to cancel their subscription immediately, free of charge. If a subscription is canceled, any eligible unused Flight Pass credits will still be honored until their expiration. Terms and conditions apply. Current subscribers will soon get an email for more information on the upcoming changes to their accounts and how to take action, if needed.
