American Airlines and Alaska Airlines expanded their codeshare relationship,
effective for travel beginning Feb. 7. "The codeshare expansion will allow American to place its code on 22 new Alaska routes that provide Bay Area travelers with access to Hawaii and will increase the options for transcontinental flights for travelers in the Pacific Northwest and San Diego to Boston, Washington, D.C. and Orlando," according to the announcement. "Under the agreement, Alaska will place its code on 19 American routes, which will provide better access for Alaska customers on flights between Los Angeles and U.S. cities such as Washington, D.C., Orlando and Houston. Additionally, Alaska customers will gain better access between the Pacific Northwest and 11 new cities throughout Texas via American's Dallas/Fort Worth hub. In all, Alaska customers will gain access to 13 new destinations."
