Alaska Airlines will begin nonstop service between Ancorhage and both San Diego and New York (JFK) next year with daily flights to New York beginning June 13 and to San Diego May 18. The New York service will be the only nonstop between the two cities.

The Anchorage-New York JFK route — at 3,386 miles — will become the longest flight in the airline’s network. The route will be served with new 737-8 aircraft, which will have the longest range of any plane in the fleet — allowing Alaska to add new nonstop destinations that it couldn’t before.

With the new routes, the carrier will fly to 14 nonstop destinations to and from Anchorage in the summer to the Lower 48 and Hawaii. Gateways will include Chicago, Denver, Honolulu, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, New York JFK, Phoenix, Portland, Salt Lake City, San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle and Seattle/Everett (Paine Field)
