Alaska Air has launched a 72-hour flash sale for fall travel. Some routes are showing “is this Frontier?” like prices, which is an excellent offer. Don’t be fooled by the short list on the main sale page: selecting a city from the drop down brings up more options. Fares to/from Hawaii are also included; while not beating some recent sales, they are lower than current standard prices by many airlines in many cases. Note that prices are one-way.
Alaska offers both Saver (basic economy) and main cabin fares during sales, which is a great opportunity to “buy up” at an effective rate. I’ve highlighted main cabin fares below, since getting seat choice and Alaska miles is worth a few extra bucks in my book. These fares require 21-day advanced purchase. But this is a flash sale and you must buy before 11:59 Pacific Time on August 27th for these prices.
Sample Fares
- San Diego to San Jose from $39 basic / $49 main cabin
- Las Vegas to San Francisco from $49 / $64
- Seattle to Houston $98 / $128
- New York JFK to Los Angeles from $119 / $149
- Philadelphia to San Francisco from $114/ $144
How to Book
- Visit the airline to search for sample dates and destinations
Travel Dates

Good luck and happy flying!

You *do* get full Alaska Miles for saver fares. (Not sure about crediting to partner programs thought.)
You can select seats as well, but only from the last four rows.
