Save on your next Alaska Airlines flight for winter travel. Nearly all of the airline's nonstop routes are seeing some solid fares from $49 one-way or $97+ roundtrip. Many routes are also lower than advertised and some coast-to-coast flights are as low as $99 each way or $197 roundtrip.

Other mainline carriers such as American, Delta, Hawaiian, JetBlue, Southwest, and United are price matching in most markets, so make sure to compare to find the best deal for your travel needs.

Baggage

On Alaska Airlines (and most other carriers except United), these fares include one carry-on bag plus one small personal item. Checked bag fees start at $30 each way.

Seat Assignments

Alaska's Saver Fares allow for limited seat selection in the back of the aircraft. However, finding seats next to a travel partner may be difficult on some routes. If you choose not to select a seat, one will be assigned to you during check-in.

Alternate Fares

Alaska's Main fares are usually around $10-$35 more each way and include a larger selection of seats to choose from and allow ticket changes/upgrades for a fee. Checked bag fees are the same $30 each way.

Other major airlines that are matching are mostly Basic Economy fares with similar restrictions. The main difference is that United's Basic Economy only includes a small personal item. JetBlue and Southwest do not sell Basic Economy and Southwest includes two free checked bags.

A few routes may have lower fares on connecting flights or for travel on ultra-low-cost carriers like Allegiant, Frontier, Spirit, or Sun Country.

Example Booking

As an example, I found seats departing Los Angeles LAX on Thursday, January 30, returning from Honolulu HNL on Monday, February 3, 2020, for $298 roundtrip.
