Key Takeaways:

Alaska Airlines will bring four new destinations into its domestic network next summer.

The carrier announced Thursday that it will serve Charlotte, North Carolina, Jacksonville, Florida, Norfolk, Virginia, and Des Moines, Iowa, from Seattle. Three of the four cities – Jacksonville, Norfolk, and Des Moines – have never had nonstop flights to Seattle.

Currently, only American Airlines connects Charlotte and Seattle.

The Des Moines service will also mark Alaska’s debut in Iowa.

All four connections will operate daily, year-round. Flights to Charlotte and Norfolk will begin June 10, 2027, with Jacksonville and Des Moines launching later that month, on June 24.

Alaska will also offer seasonal service from Seattle to Guadalajara, Mexico, from March 18, 2027, to Aug. 9. Flights will operate three times weekly, using Boeing 737 aircraft.
