On Feb. 24, the Russian military invaded Ukraine. This was a stark enhance in kinetic navy engagement past the unlawful annexation of Crimea and occupation of the Donbas area that has been simmering since February of 2014.

The reverberations of those actions have been catastrophic for Ukraine, damage the worldwide financial system, and disrupted workforce migration within the Alaska seafood business, practically 5,000 miles away.

Alaska Airlines Expands Mexico Service to La Paz and Monterrey with New Routes From Los Angeles

Alaska Airlines has announced the addition of two new destinations in Mexico to its international network, set to launch this winter. The carrier will introduce nonstop flights from Los Angeles to La Paz and Monterrey, expanding options for U.S. travelers seeking warm-weather getaways.

Starting Nov. 20, 2024, Alaska Airlines will become the only U.S. carrier offering service to La Paz, a coastal destination in Mexico’s Baja California Sur. The airline aims to provide travelers with access to this less-frequented Mexican locale known for its beaches and marine life. Flights will be offered two- to three-times weekly.

Additionally, beginning Feb. 13, 2025, Alaska Airlines will launch daily nonstop flights between Los Angeles and Monterrey. This new route will make Alaska the sole U.S. airline providing daily nonstop service to the industrial hub in northeastern Mexico.

“During the winter months, our guests search for warm-weather travel destinations,” stated Alaska Airlines in a press release posted to the airline’s website. “Our new nonstop service to La Paz (LAP) and Monterrey (MTY) caters to that demand by offering our guests the perfect escape to sunny skies, a vibrant city experience and warm hospitality.”

The airline encourages early booking for winter vacations, with tickets available for purchase starting now on the Alaska Airlines website.
