Alaska Airlines is bringing a fresh breeze to California travel this fall with the launch of a new seasonal route connecting Palm Springs and Santa Rosa, starting Sunday, October 26. The flight will operate five times weekly aboard the comfortable Embraer 175, offering a seamless link between the sun-soaked desert and the cool charm of wine country.
This new route is part of Alaska’s broader expansion across California and the Pacific Northwest, but the Palm Springs–Santa Rosa connection stands out for its appeal to leisure travelers seeking a blend of relaxation and refinement. Whether you’re escaping to the vineyards or retreating to the desert, this flight makes it easier than ever to enjoy two of California’s most beloved destinations.
“We’re thrilled to see Santa Rosa return with Alaska, our largest carrier and one of our strongest partners,” said Harry Barrett, Jr., Executive Director of Aviation at Palm Springs International Airport. “It’s a perfect match between two world-class destinations known for unforgettable hospitality.”
Alaska Airlines is the largest carrier at both airports and continues to lead with thoughtful perks like its Wine Flies Free program, allowing Mileage Plan members to check a case of wine at no charge when flying from wine country.
