Alaska Airlines inaugurates flights to San Luis Obispo, California, and Wichita, Kansas

by ·

Alaska Airlines inaugurates nonstop service today from its Seattle hub to San Luis Obispo, California, and Wichita, Kansas. The airline will operate daily flights to each market.

“Alaska Airlines continues to grow from our hometown of Seattle,” said John Kirby, the airline’s vice president of capacity planning. “With the additions of San Luis Obispo and Wichita, we now serve 89 nonstop destinations.”

San Luis Obispo is known for its wine tourism, business community and proximity to California’s central coastline. Members of Alaska Mileage Plan can check a case of wine for free when traveling from San Luis Obispo through the airline’s Wine Flies Free program.

Wichita is home to many aircraft manufacturers including Boeing 737 fuselage maker, Spirit AeroSystems. Kansas’ largest airport, Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, opened its state-of-the-art, modern terminal in 2015.
