Alaska Airlines, based in Seattle, just dropped a new deal on one-way flights from dozens of cities across the U.S. Find deals from $69 (or lower) or 4,500 Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan miles. You must book your flight by the end of the day on Monday, August 12, but the travel window is quite accommodating — with most flights available from August 13 through December 18, 2024, although some blackout dates apply to some flights.
That said, there are no change fees on Main and First Class flights, but certain restrictions do apply. The airline may impose blackout dates and travel from some cities is limited to specific days only.
These deals expire at 11:59 PM on August 12, 2024; you can book flights directly on Alaska’s website. If you book at an Alaska Airlines airport location or through one of their reservation call centers, you will pay an additional $15 per person over the advertised fare. Also, Saver Fares are eligible for the 24-hour cancellation policy, or a credit of 50% when canceled at least 14 days prior to your departure.
