Yes, even the most seasoned travelers get pre-travel jitters. Did I remember to pack socks? What if security lines take forever? Did I actually lock the front door when I left my house? One thing you should never have to worry about, though, is the care and integrity of the airline you’re flying. From over a hundred nonstop destinations from the Bay Area to award-winning service and attention, Alaska Airlines is at the top of our list when it comes to travel. Here, three reasons why your next trip should be with Alaska Airlines.
