Here is the summary of new service:

Alaska Airlines says introductory one-way fares will start at $139 to Charleston and Nashville, and $159 to Raleigh/Durham. Tickets go on sale today at www.alaskaair.com. Tickets at the introductory fares must be purchased by May 4 and travel must be completed by November 18 for Nashville and Raleigh Durham, and by December 19 for Charleston.

Bottom Line:
This increase in service from Alaska Airlines will bring its daily peak departure total to up to 290 flights a day out of it’s Seattle hub. Alaska also says this move connects two major biotechnology hubs with SEA-RDU service, and connects Boeing with one of its largest manufacturing plants outside of the Pacific Northwest with the SEA-CHS service.  Sounds good to me.  Anyone else find these new city pairs attractive?

  1. As someone who lives in Charleston, I’m super excited about this new route. As a Delta flyer, this opens up some great options and it is the very first cross country direct flight out of CHS. So that’s super news for us.
