Alaska Airlines unveils top Fall travel trends: Hawaiʻi and hidden gem destinations dominate  – Alaska Airlines News

More and more guests are seeking unique and authentic experiences that stand apart from well-known tourist destinations. This fall, we’re seeing strong bookings to small destinations, such as Bellingham, Missoula and Santa Rosa. To respond to the rising trend to these hidden gems, we’ve increased capacity between Bellingham and Seattle by 40%, adding one additional flight each way compared to last year.

We’re also now flying mainline aircraft to increase our capacity by up to 40% between Seattle and Missoula. Starting Oct. 1, we launched our seventh nonstop from Santa Rosa, now connecting to Las Vegas, making it easier for guests to reach California’s wine country.
