For the first time in the summer of 2025, Alaska Airlines will add service to Anchorage from Detroit and Sacramento hubs with seasonal nonstop flights and resume nonstop service between Fairbanks and Portland.

Weekly roundtrip flights to and from Detroit and Sacramento begin on June 14, 2025. The Fairbanks to Portland route will resume on May 15, 2025. These additional flights represent the most nonstop destinations ever served between Anchorage with 15 nonstop routes to the Lower 48 and Hawaii this summer that include Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco and Seattle.

Kirsten Amrine, Vice President of Network Planning and Revenue Management at Alaska Airlines said in a statement, “Our new routes provide guests with more options than ever to vacation this summer in the great state of Alaska. The nonstop flights from Detroit and Sacramento will put travelers right in the heart of Alaska by skipping a layover, and Portlanders can enjoy nonstop service to Fairbanks.”

Marilyn Romano, Regional Vice President of Alaska at Alaska Airlines added, “Summer is a tremendous time to visit The Great Land of Alaska with our long, warm days, tremendous culture and adventure, and amazing wild Alaska seafood. There’s so much to do around Anchorage, and the city is a perfect jumping-off point to venture out to communities across the state, as well as hopping on a cruise. For Alaskans, we now have even more nonstop destinations to visit family and friends this summer.”

Additionally, the airline is launching a variety of new seasonal routes in January across their network with nonstops from Sacramento to the warm, sun-filled destinations of Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, Orlando and Tucson.

Alaska will also fly nonstop for the winter season between Boise and Orlando – home to major theme parks – in addition to the new service linking New York JFK and Puerto Vallarta.
