SONOMA COUNTY, CA — The rest of the United States will soon become a little more accessible from Sonoma County by air without the drive to San Francisco or Oakland — or a private plane.
The Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport announced that Alaska Airlines is expanding the airport’s growing footprint across the western United States.
The new routes will connect Sonoma County travelers directly to three destinations.The additional seasonal nonstop flights will go to Boise, Salt Lake City, and Phoenix beginning Nov. 1.
With the additions, passengers will be able to fly nonstop from Sonoma County to a dozen destinations, a move meant to expand the airport’s role as a regional alternative to larger Bay Area airports.
Airport officials promoted the convenience of flying from Santa Rosa, pointing to easier parking, shorter security lines, and reduced travel stress compared with longer drives to major metropolitan airports.
Tickets for the new Alaska Airlines routes are available now through the airport’s website.
