Alaska Airlines will be adding a new flight from Anchorage to Juneau to accommodate those who want to witness the inauguration on Monday. The flight leaves Anchorage at 8:30 a.m., and arrives in Juneau at 10:10 a.m. The inauguration will take place at 11:30 a.m. at Centennial Hall in Juneau.
The return flight will leave Juneau at 5:15 p.m., arriving in Anchorage at 7:00 p.m. The cost is $116 one-way, before taxes and fees.
In a press release, Gov.-elect Bill Walker said that he appreciated Alaska Airlines’ recognition of Alaskans who want to attend the event.
I don’t remember if they did a special flight for Governor Zero’s inaugurals but they offer constituent fares down to Juneau every legislative season, Delta or not. If you want to fly in Alaska in winter with a pilot used to flying in Georgia and Texas good luck to you.
How wonduhful of Alaska Airlines. If you live in Anchorage.
Move the capitol to south central Alaska.
It seems to me that there ought to be a law, any airline ticket purchased by the State of Alaska for travel between Anchorage and Juneau or vice versa should only be valid for seats in rows 14 and higher. It also seems to me that there are a lot of State employee’s who are piling up miles and gold member benefits paid for by the State. What gives?
It would be nice if AK Airlines provided reasonable prices all the time instead of just once every four years for the inauguation.
Alaska Airlines has been uncharacteristically customer oriented ever since Delta Airlines began coming into Juneau (again). Thank you Delta.
