Planning your next getaway?

Alaska Airlines is adding 18 direct flights ahead of the winter travel season, including four new nonstop routes that depart from Sacramento International Airport.

Starting in January, travelers will be able to fly directly from California’s capital city to destinations in Arizona, Florida and Mexico, the airline announced Wednesday.

Tickets became available on Wednesday evening.

“We’re thrilled to offer convenient connection for guests across our network with this expansion — whether (they’re) checking destinations off their bucket lists or setting off to their favorite winter getaways,” Kirsten Amrine, vice president of network planning and revenue management at Alaska Airlines, wrote in a Wednesday news release.

The full list includes “tropical destinations across Mexico to the most popular ski slopes in North America,” she added.
