Touchdown! In celebration of Chief Football Officer Russell Wilson's upcoming season, guests can score extra points with Alaska Airlines this football season. Beginning today, guests wearing a Russell Wilson No. 3 jersey or a limited edition Alaska's Russell Wilson shirt (available from the Alaska Company Store) will be given early boarding for all Seattle (SEA) and Everett (PAE) departing flights for the duration of the football season.

Wilson and Alaska enjoy a relationship that began in 2013 after his rookie year playing professional football. Alaska Airlines has since teamed up on a number of community, youth, and education programs over the years. You can learn a lot about a person in nine years. Here are a few of our favorite memories of Russ from the archives:

• Russell sporting the Alaska Airlines Holiday Sweater. Proceeds from the sweater sales were donated to United Way's Ride United Last-Mile Delivery initiative
• The "Pledge It. Prove It. Take Flight." student event hosted by Russ and Alaska Airlines Black Employee Resource Group
• A 2014 commercial where Russ and now retired Captain Mike Swanigan talk about our two championship seasons
• Russell going through flight attendant training in 2020
• Russell captained one of the teams for an Alaska Plane Pull that raised more than $30,000 for Strong Against Cancer
• Check out funny outtakes from Russell's Retreat commercials

Keep an eye on the skies for additional Russell Wilson and Alaska fun this football season.
