Alaska Airlines Announces New Flights Between San Diego and Atlanta

Alaska Airlines announced that tickets are now available for the carrier’s new, daily service between San Diego and Atlanta, which launches on May 16, 2024.

With the new California-to-Georgia route’s introduction, Alaska will offer 37 nonstop destinations next spring from San Diego to cities across the Northwest, Northeast, California, Mexico, Florida and all four major islands in Hawaii.

The carrier currently offers 36 nonstop destinations from San Diego, which remains the most of any airline serving the airport. The new flights will depart California in mid-morning and arrive in Atlanta in the late afternoon, with the flight returning to San Diego in the early evening. 

“We want to provide our guests in San Diego the most nonstop options,” Alaska Airlines Vice President Kirsten Amrine said. “Not only are San Diego and Atlanta popular destinations for leisure travelers, but both are also major business hubs.”

“We're excited to connect the cities, especially since Atlanta is our largest unserved transcontinental market from San Diego,” Amrine continued.

First Class and Premium Class passengers can enjoy early boarding, complimentary hot meals and free cocktails, wines and beers. Alaska also offers satellite Wi-Fi, power outlets at every seat and the option to pre-order from a range of fresh meal selections.

In July, Alaska expanded its Latin America service to include daily year-round service from Los Angeles to Guatemala. In addition, flights from both San Diego and Chicago O’Hare to Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo have been added to increase seasonal leisure routes for winter travel, beginning in December.

The carrier also revealed plans for new nonstop service between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu starting this fall. The new flights will connect Paine Field-Snohomish County Airport and the Hawaiian Islands, with daily, year-round service beginning ahead of the holidays on November 17.
