Key Takeaways:

Alaska Airlines on Thursday announced its 50th nonstop destination from San Diego.

Starting Dec. 19, the carrier will connect San Diego and Loreto, Mexico. Flights will operate twice weekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, using Embraer E175 aircraft operated by SkyWest.

The seasonal service will end April 28, 2027, Alaska said.
