Overview
- Beginning spring 2026, Alaska will add 13 nonstop routes centered on growth in San Diego and Portland, with tickets on sale and first launches including San Diego–Tulsa on March 18 and additional San Diego routes on April 22, plus four new Portland routes starting in May.
- San Diego gains five new nonstop cities (Dallas–Fort Worth, Oakland, Raleigh–Durham, Santa Barbara and Tulsa) as the hub grows more than 35% year over year for spring 2026, while Portland adds Baltimore, Idaho Falls, Philadelphia and St. Louis and increases other frequencies.
- Two new airports join the network — Tulsa (TUL) and Arcata–Eureka (ACV) — bringing Alaska Air Group’s reach to 142 destinations in 2026.
- Alaska confirmed it will drop five San Francisco routes early next year — Austin, Boston, Burbank, Newark and Orlando — even as it boosts SFO–Hawai‘i to daily service to Kona and Līhuʻe by early summer and adds more Los Angeles–Maui flying.
- Hawai‘i connectivity deepens with a new summer seasonal Honolulu–Burbank flight and daily SFO service to all four major islands by early summer; published schedules reviewed by outlets also indicate LAX reductions on select short‑haul routes to free aircraft for the expansion.
