SEATTLE—Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air announced today they are waiving service
charges on baggage for active members of the U.S. military traveling on orders,
allowing them to check up to three pieces of luggage free of charge. In the
past, military personnel were allowed two free checked bags.
"We realize
soldiers may have more baggage than normal when traveling to or from an overseas
deployment, and we want to accommodate and welcome them on Alaska Airlines and
Horizon Air," said Gregg Saretsky, Alaska Airlines' executive vice president of
flight and marketing. "It's a small thing we can do to thank the men and women
of our armed forces for all they do for our country."
Each free checked
bag may be up to 50 pounds (military duffle bags may be up to 70 pounds) and 115
linear inches.
In July the airlines began charging a $25 service fee to
check a second bag in all markets, except the state of Alaska. The first checked
bag is still free for all passengers.
Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air
together serve 95 cities through an expansive network in Alaska, the Lower 48,
Hawaii, Canada and Mexico.
