Flight Pass, a subscription-based travel solution focusing on value and flexibility, has been launched by Alaska Airlines.

For a fixed monthly subscription, members can fly up to 24 round-trip flights each year to the most popular destinations within California, as well as non-stop service from California airports to Reno, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.

This new way to fly allows travellers to lock in main cabin deals for a full year and rewards subscribers with lower-than-average fares on eligible flights, with annual plans starting at $49 per month.

“Flight Pass builds on our mission to offer travellers the most West Coast destinations at the best value. Our commitment to care means offering convenient and affordable options that fit our guests’ lifestyle and connect them to where they want to go,” said Alaska Airlines’ managing director of business development and products, Alex Corey.

“After two years of staying close to home, guests are ready to travel again and with 100 daily flights from 16 airports throughout California and between California to Reno, Phoenix and Las Vegas, Flight Pass will take them there.”

Subscribers to Flight Pass can pick between two annual plans, based on whether they want the best value or the most flexibility, with the sole difference being the duration of the required advanced booking period.

Subscribers will receive credits deposited into their Flight Pass account on a monthly or bi-monthly basis, which can be redeemed for six, twelve, or twenty-four non-stop travels to eligible destinations per year.

In addition to the monthly subscription cost and nominal fare (most flights are only $0.01), flyers must still pay applicable government taxes and airport fees on each flight.

Neil Thwaites, Alaska Airlines’ regional vice president of California, said, “Alaska Airlines is uniquely positioned to help our West Coast guests experience more with direct access to destinations near and far from our expanding hubs. Flight Pass will provide more options, value and care with every trip that our guests book, while also transforming the travel experience long-term.”
