Horizon Air is kicking off its new direct and nonstop air service
linking Spokane with San Jose and Sacramento starting March 26 with
special introductory fares as low as $99 for flights taken through June
10, 2010. Fares between Sacramento and San Jose start as low as $29.
Additionally, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members traveling on these
flights can earn Double Miles through May 31, 2010.
"Customers asked, and we responded,” said Dan Russo, Horizon vice
president of marketing and communications. "Make travel easier between
Boise, Spokane, San Jose and Sacramento? Done. Make it more affordable?
Done.”
Sale fares are available now at horizonair.com. For reservations by
phone, call Horizon at 800-547-9308 (TTY 800-682-2221). Fares quoted are
one-way and some restrictions apply.
Horizon will operate two daily flights between the three cities. One
flight from Spokane will operate nonstop to Sacramento and continue on
to San Jose, and a second flight from Spokane will operate nonstop to
San Jose and continue on to Sacramento. This new service includes two
daily roundtrip flights each way between San Jose and Sacramento,
facilitating same-day business trips in each direction between the two
cities.
All flights will be operated with 76-seat Bombardier Q400s. This
high-speed, twin-engine turboprop is one of the most technologically
advanced regional aircraft in the world. It's as quiet and comfortable
as a jet - thanks to special technology that suppresses noise and
vibration, generously sized overhead storage bins, unobstructed
under-seat space, and ample headroom (6 feet, 5 inches). The Q400 is
also among the most environmentally friendly aircraft today, burning 30
percent to 40 percent less fuel and producing an equally lower amount of
emissions (and 10 decibels less noise) than comparable jets.
Onboard, travelers will enjoy Horizon's award-winning service, which
includes - at no extra charge - Starbucks coffee, soft drinks, and (for
passengers 21 and older) Northwest wines and microbrews.
Horizon serves 48 cities throughout Arizona, California, Oregon,
Washington, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Baja California Sur (Mexico), and
British Columbia and Alberta (Canada). Together, Horizon Air and Alaska
Airlines serve more than 90 cities and are subsidiaries of Alaska Air
Group, Inc. (NYSE:ALK).
