Alaska Airlines announced a new program exclusively for residents of the state of Alaska.
The Company said Club 49 offers Alaska residents special perks, including free checked baggage, last-minute travel discounts and exclusive emails featuring weekly fare sales.
"Alaska Airlines' success would not be possible without the loyal support of residents in the state whose name we proudly fly on our aircraft," President Brad Tilden said. "Club 49 is our way of making air travel more affordable and saying 'thank you' to Alaskans."
Exclusive Club 49 member benefits, as described by the Company, include:
-Two free checked bags. Club 49 members traveling to or from the state of Alaska entirely on Alaska Airlines flights can check two bags at no cost, starting Nov. 1. This represents an $80 savings each way for a family of four checking one bag each. Customers traveling solely within the state of Alaska can continue to check three bags at no cost.
-Two one-way "Travel Now" discounts. Every year, Club 49 members will receive two one-way certificates valid for 30 percent off full flex Y base fares.
