Alaska Airways so as to add Tucson nonstop flights to Seattle space | Enterprise Information



The first non-stop flight from Tucson International Airport to San Jose, California with Alaska Airlines happened on August 29, 2017 at the TIA airfield under water cannons. Alaska plans to begin a daily non-stop flight from Tucson to Everett, Washington in November 2021.

Tucson air travelers will have a new option to fly to the Seattle area this fall as Alaska Airlines launches daily non-stop flights to Paine Field in Everett, Washington in November.

As part of a plan to resume service in Paine after a shutdown due to the pandemic, Alaska announced Thursday that it would begin its new seasonal service to Tucson on November 19.

Passengers can now book Tucson to Everett flights on Alaska’s website Alaskaair.com.

Other destinations served by Alaska from Paine Field include Las Vegas, Orange County, Palm Springs, Phoenix, San Diego, and San Francisco.

With the Everett route and the return of more California flights starting this month, TIA has now returned to 19 non-stop destinations, including some seasonal routes and some that are not served daily.

Alaska Airlines says it will reach 13 nonstop flights from Everett by November, including the Tucson flight, and plans to resume a full schedule of 18 daily nonstop flights in Paine by next spring.

TIA cited Paine’s easy access to Seattle and the ski resorts in the area, noting that Paine Field’s two-gate passenger terminal is seen as a model for airport design and customer experience, with a lobby and lounge-style lounges.
