Alaska Airlines announced new daily service between San Diego and Atlanta beginning May 16, 2024. With the addition, according to the carrier, it will offer 37 nonstop destinations next spring from San Diego to cities across the Northwest, Northeast, California, Mexico, Florida and all four major islands in Hawaii. Alaska currently offers 36 nonstop destinations from San Diego, which remains the most of any airline serving the airport.

Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning for Alaska, said that both cities are major business hubs, adding that Atlanta has been Alaska’s largest unserved transcontinental market from San Diego.

Flights will depart San Diego in midmorning and arrive in Atlanta in the late afternoon, with service returning to San Diego in the early evening. The times, according to Alaska, allow for connecting flights within the carrier’s intra-California network.
