of marketing and communications. "With it you can build miles when
flying to any of the 92 cities served by Horizon and Alaska, and when
flying on our partner airlines."
The $69 one-way fare is available with no advance purchase
required, and is available on a limited basis on flights between
Seattle and Portland scheduled to depart from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. or 4:30
