Alaska Airlines appeals to customers, expanding its Wine Flies Free program, enabling Mileage Plan members departing from more cities to check an entire case of wine for free.
The expanded program allows members from an additional 18 cities to check wine, for a total 29 cities on the West Coast.
“Wine and food are huge passion points for travelers when choosing their next travel destination,” said Natalie Bowman, managing director of marketing and advertising, Alaska Airlines. “Our Wine Flies Free program makes it easier for our guests to experience some of the country’s best wine regions and take their favorite wines home.”
The program first debuted in 2007 to make it easier for travelers to bring home their favorite bottle of wine from Santa Rosa/Sonoma County. Often, wineries are unable to ship cases of wine directly or consumers are faced with steep shipping fees. Alaska Airlines’ program solves this problem, allowing members to check an entire case for free.
New Wine Flies Free cities in California include Burbank (BUR), Fresno (FAT), Los Angeles (LAX), Monterey (MRY), Oakland (OAK), Ontario (ONT), Orange County (SNA), Palm Springs (PSP), Sacramento (SMF), San Diego (SAN), San Francisco (SFO), San José (SJC) and Santa Barbara (SBA). New cities in Washington include Bellingham (BLI), Pullman (PUW), Seattle (SEA), Spokane (GEG) and Wenatchee (EAT).

Apr 17, 2024Mindfulness City in Kingdom of Bhutan Unveiled as Future Economic Hub
In front of an audience of 30,000 Kingdom of Bhutan residents and officials, His Majesty King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck presented his vision for a new economic hub in Bhutan. Located between India to the south and China to the north, Bhutan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world. Bhutan came late to global tourism. It opened its borders to international visitors in 1974 and, while tourism definitely increased, residents are enduring “light” rush-hour traffic in Thimphu, its capital city, as the only Asian capital without traffic lights.

Apr 17, 2024Amansara Review
It was more than a car journey; it was a transition between worlds. At our first hotel in Siem Reap, huge coaches constantly pulled up outside the lobby to deposit or receive international tour groups; we departed in very different style, in a 1965 black Mercedes limousine once owned by King Sihanouk. The mundanities of mass tourism were left behind. We progressed through the chaotic Cambodian streets in regal comfort and soon arrived at a solid gate.
