Alaska Airlines has announced the expansion of its international network with the addition of two new destinations in Mexico this winter. Soon, we will be offering nonstop flights between Los Angeles and the stunning coastal city of La Paz, making us the only U.S. carrier serving this location. Additionally, starting in February, we will become the sole U.S. airline to provide daily nonstop service between Los Angeles and the vibrant city of Monterrey.

As winter approaches, many of our guests look for warm-weather destinations. Our new nonstop flights to La Paz (LAP) and Monterrey (MTY) cater to this demand, offering perfect getaways with sunny skies, vibrant city experiences, and warm hospitality. Booking for these winter vacations begins on the afternoon of July 3 at alaskaair.com.

"We recently celebrated 35 years of service to Mexico and are proud to connect travelers with the rich culture and natural beauty of the country. We look forward to continuing to serve as the carrier of choice from the West Coast, especially as we prepare to start service to these popular destinations in Mexico," said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning at Alaska Airlines.

As the leading U.S. carrier with the most flights, seats, and nonstop routes to Mexico from the West Coast, this announcement reaffirms our commitment and growth plans in the region. Our new nonstop service from Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) enables guests to easily connect from cities across our network. From our hub at LAX, we offer the most flights to Latin America and the Caribbean, including nearly 16 daily departures this winter to 15 cities throughout the region.

La Paz, Mexico

We will be the only carrier offering nonstop service between the United States and La Paz, renowned for its world-class diving and sport fishing. Our flights will be available year-round with service up to three times weekly.

"We appreciate Alaska Airlines' confidence in investing in the virtues of La Paz and providing it with the opportunity to expand its borders by connecting with the United States. Especially with its flight to Los Angeles, California, which we are sure will be a success," said Maribel Collins, minister of tourism and economy of Baja California Sur. "For the Government of Baja California Sur, tourism is one of the pillars that drives the state's economy. Therefore, we are highly committed to promoting actions that benefit this important sector through our tourism trusts, which day by day seek alliances for the benefit of all."

"Connecting La Paz with Los Angeles is an important step for internationalizing this airport, which has grown significantly over the past three years. We thank Alaska Airlines for offering this flight to one of the most beautiful destinations in Mexico and look forward to welcoming travelers to La Paz and continuing to provide greater ease for foreign tourists to visit this city," said Raúl Revuelta Musalem, CEO of the Pacific Airport Group.

Monterrey, Mexico

We are adding daily service from Los Angeles to Monterrey, Mexico's second-largest metro area. This destination offers dramatic peaks of the Sierra Madre Oriental Mountain range and a vibrant food scene, including several Michelin-starred restaurants. Immerse yourself in history with a visit to one of the city's many museums or enjoy the outdoors with a trip to the Huasteca Canyon, a popular rock climbing area on the city's outskirts.

"We are pleased to announce that Alaska Airlines will begin operations from Monterrey Airport to Los Angeles, expanding its services from our airports along with Mazatlan and Zihuatanejo," said Ricardo Dueñas, CEO of Grupo Aeroportuario del Centro Norte. "Through LAX, this new route will offer access to new destinations on the West Coast, as we continue to increase international connectivity from Monterrey to meet both business and leisure travel demand."

Whether traveling for pleasure or business, our guests can enjoy a premium travel experience on any Alaska flight with no change fees, the most legroom in First Class* and Premium Class, the most generous Mileage Plan with the fastest path to elite status, high-quality West Coast-inspired food, and a premium selection of beverages.
