Alaska Airlines Adds New Premium Class

Alaska Airlines will add a new premium class section beginning in late 2016 that will give travelers more legroom and priority boarding. The airline made the announcement at its annual investor day on Thursday. The new option will be available to members of the airline’s elite mileage plan on a complimentary basis at booking or day of travel. The new class guarantee’s a passenger at least 35 inches of legroom compared to 31 to 32 inches in the rest of the cabin. The plan is for up to 60 of its aircrafts to be retrofitted with the new premium class by the end of next year.
