Alaska Airlines soars to new flavor heights with expanded beverage menu
Anyone who travels can appreciate that it is the little moments or extra effort which can turn a chaotic day into a better one. After navigating the long lines, tired travelers, and various pitfalls, those few moments to sit, take a breath, and enjoy a beverage can be the ultimate moment of respite. Alaska Airlines understands that the experience on board makes getting to the destination better.
While price, destinations, and convenience can steer travel decisions, many people are happy to see Alaska Airlines as a ticket booking option. The West Coast airline is a staple for many people. From traveling up and down the coast to crossing the country, Alaska Airlines appreciates that little touches make that time soaring amongst the clouds more enjoyable.
The food and beverage offerings on board Alaska Airlines have received numerous accolades. From its specialty brew in partnership with Seattle’s Fremont Brewing, Cloud Cruiser, to Stumptown Coffee, the emphasis on flavorful, on-board choices sets the brand apart from other airline companies.
As Toddy Traynor-Corey, managing director of guest products at Alaska Airlines, said, “our guests value unique, high-quality experiences, and these new products allow us to elevate their journey while bringing a bit of regional pride to every flight.” By continuing to support local brands, the company not only offers a taste of home but also introduces others to unique products.
One new on board beverage is the Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher. With the sober movement continuing to be part of the beverage conversation, hop water is a popular choice for beer drinkers and anyone who wants a crisp, refreshing sparkling non-alcoholic beverage.
The slightly citrus note with tight bubbles is perfect for air travel. It is bright, refreshing and a wonderful way to stay hydrated on those long flights. The Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher is complimentary for First Class and Premium Class guests. It is available for purchase for Main Cabin guests.
For travelers looking for a kick with their cocktail, Alaska Airlines is now serving an Espresso Martini. The RTD cocktail is full of coffee flavor thanks to the Stumptown Coffee foundation. For cocktail lovers who want that coffee forward cocktail, this Straightaway Espresso Martini delivers.
The new beverage options are just one of several changes to the guest experience. First class guests can enjoy Filson blankets and Salt and Stone personal products are now available. Overall, each new element is designed to give guests more. Travel companies appreciate that consumers have choices. Making the guest feel appreciated will drive loyalty.
