The fast satellite Wi-Fi that’s had you surfing and streaming with ease on your Alaska Airlines flights just got a price break: You can do those internet things you do so well with the new $8 flat rate for Wi-Fi service on the airline's mainline aircraft with satellite-enabled connectivity onboard. And starting now, Alaska Airlines is offering a variety of new meal selections on their flights as part of the most comprehensive food and beverage program in the industry. 

First up, Alaska's upgraded, high-speed Wi-Fi – in partnership with Intelsat. The service provides a more enjoyable guest experience with better reliability, faster connections and a lower cost. Alaska Airlines' web portal now loads 50% faster than before with a one ‘click-to-connect’ web experience, and connection speeds are 20 times faster than the previous, basic Wi-Fi system. 

With the purchase of $8 flat rate satellite Wi-Fi for their entire flight, Alaska Airlines' guests can stream content on their personal devices from their favorite services such as Netflix, Hulu, YouTube and other streaming platforms.

Another bonus: On Alaska Airlines' planes enabled with satellite Wi-Fi, you can connect from the moment you board, instead of waiting for the connection to kick in after the boarding door closes—it’s seamless connectivity from gate to gate. (Another way to save: Use the Alaska Airlines Visa® Credit Card and snag a 20% savings on inflight purchases including Wi-Fi.) 

Coast to coast wi-fi

Alaska Airlines' newest planes are equipped with satellite Wi-Fi, often flying their longest routes between the West Coast and New York, Boston, Washington, D.C. and Florida markets. With nearly 80% of Alaska's fleet currently equipped with high-speed satellite Wi-Fi, you can still connect on both long and short haul flights. You’ll know you’re flying an aircraft with the upgraded Wi-Fi if see you see the dome shaped antenna on top of the plane, or if you spot the satellite Wi-Fi decal just inside the entry door. 

Tasty new menu options

When you’re going somewhere, having good food and tasty drinks along the way just makes for a more enjoyable trip. Alaska Airlines has got you covered with a new menu of options. Alaska continues to have the most comprehensive onboard food and beverage program of any U.S. carrier. Alaska Airlines offers fresh First Class meals on flights more than 670 miles, fresh food for purchase in the main cabin on flights longer than 1,100 miles and popular snacks for purchase on all flights over 670 miles. 

Alaska Airlines knows convenience matters: They've expanded their pre-order program so the guests can order their favorites starting two weeks before their flight and up to 20 hours prior to departure—from choosing between hot meal options in First Class to making sure a Signature Fruit and Cheese platter has their name on it. 

Alaska Airlines' new spring menu in First Class features more than 30 healthy, fresh and local dishes, such as Lemongrass Chicken with Ginger Fried Rice and Basil Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowl. Plus anytime Alaska's First Class guests prefer the simple pleasure of their Signature Fruit & Cheese platter, Alaska Airlines can make that happen. Among the refreshed selections in the main cabin they're offering Evergreen’s ‘Moroccan & Rollin’ Salad,’ a Ginger Garlic Beef Wrap and the Charcuterie Protein Platter.

Sit back, stretch out & stream away

As you’re getting from point A to point B, staying entertained is important—and that doesn’t mean you need to connect to the internet to do that. That’s why the airline keeps investing in Alaska's massive library of entertainment for free streaming to personal computers, tablets and phones. Alaska Airlines has added 150 new movies since December, offering a total of 700 movies and TV shows with more to come. And don’t forget about free texting onboard.   

With the most generous legroom in First Class and Premium Class than any other domestic carrier, Alaska Airlines is proud to announce continued interior upgrades to their 737 fleet. Upgrades will begin in September with cabin interiors undergoing a complete refresh including sustainable leather covers, LED lighting, new bulkheads, carpeting and phone holders for a handsfree entertainment experience.
