We’re celebrating women who love what they do at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air – three of whom know our planes inside and out in San Francisco.

Evergreens dishes up fast, healthy lunch options across the Pacific Northwest – and Alaska guests can now enjoy the growing Seattle company’s Beets So Fly salads inflight.

UNCF uses LIFT Miles donated by Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members to fly students at historically black colleges and universities home for the holiday break, as well as send them to career-development events like the annual HBCU Innovation Summit. 

The truffles that Alaska guests can enjoy inflight are made at a Seattle factory where visitors can taste the nuances of culinary-inspired chocolates inspired by flavors from around the globe.

Every venture Russell Wilson and Ciara take on together, business or philanthropic is intended to be a world-changer. “That’s a core essence of our decision-making,” Wilson says. “Is it going to inspire someone? If it doesn’t, then it’s probably not for us.”

Alaska Airlines proudly partners with 10 nonprofits as part of our LIFT Miles program (formerly Charity Miles), which gives Mileage Plan members the ability to donate miles to organizations in need. On Giving Tuesday, Dec. 3, Alaska will match up to a million LIFT Miles donated that day.

The elegant Central Coast wines produced by the certified sustainable winery can be enjoyed on Alaska flights – or at Broken Earth’s new tasting room north of San Luis Obispo. Alaska is adding new direct flights to San Luis Obispo in January.

Pilots, aircraft technicians, flight attendants – employees throughout Alaska and Horizon – balance full-time work schedules with service in the military reserves and National Guard.

Legions of employees channel their experiences helping loved ones with disabilities – or navigating the workplace with their own – into events and education that improve the air travel experience for all.

We are telling the stories behind some of the foods and drinks offered inflight, highlighting companies whose sustainable business practices help Alaska “fly greener” – and are West Coast destinations we love to visit. Seattle’s Fremont Brewing is the first in this ongoing series.

Alaska is inviting guests to #FillBeforeYouFly – a new initiative encouraging travelers and employees to bring their own water bottles and become active partners in the airline’s goal to reduce single-use plastics.

Alaska Airlines has official partnerships with seven parades and employee groups will march in at least nine cities, starting in Portland on June 16.
