About Alaska Airlines
Alaska Airlines (IATA: AS) is a major US carrier headquartered in Seattle, Washington, and the dominant airline serving the state of Alaska through its intrastate network centered on Anchorage (ANC). Alaska operates its primary hub at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), with additional focus cities at Portland (PDX), Los Angeles (LAX), and San Francisco (SFO). In 2021, Alaska joined the Oneworld alliance, connecting its network with American Airlines, British Airways, Qantas, Cathay Pacific, and other Oneworld partners worldwide.
In 2024, Alaska Air Group completed its acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines, significantly expanding Alaska's reach into Hawaii and the broader Pacific. The combined carrier now offers a wider domestic network across the US mainland and Alaska alongside international routes to Mexico, Canada, and Asia. FareOptic compares Alaska Airlines fares across Economy, Premium Class, and First Class so you can find the best AS ticket price for your trip.
