Late in 2023, Alaska Airlines, one of our favorite carriers, acquired Hawaiian Airlines for $1.9 billion. So whether you’re headed to Bristol Bay to chase trout and salmon, or to Kona looking for a grander marlin, if you’re somehow aligned with one of them, you likely now have more options.

Alaska Airlines offer the most choices from the Lower 48 to Anchorage. Their service, their timeliness and even the pancake machine in the airport lounge are top notch. Others with more knowledge of the flight game have already done the heavy lifting for us – providing insight into how to get the most out of this carrier’s options.

Alaska Air is offering a buy-one-get-one deal for a very limited time. Combined with the Anglers Inn discount for B.A.S.S. members this fall, that’ll help you and a partner save a combined $1,000+ on a trip.
