Through Nov. 20, travelers flying Alaska Airlines to and from select Oregon airports and Walla Walla, Wash. (ALW) can check one case of wine as checked luggage for free on their returning domestic flights. This offer lets passengers transport wine purchases home without extra baggage fees, making it easier to bring back regional bottles.
In addition to the waived baggage fee, passengers can use their Alaska Airlines boarding pass to receive a complimentary wine tasting at any of the more than 220 participating Oregon wineries. To qualify, present an inbound Alaska Airlines boarding pass dated within 10 days of arrival; each valid boarding pass entitles the holder to one waived tasting fee. This benefit encourages visitors to explore Oregon’s wine regions and sample local varietals while traveling.
For details on participating airports, the full list of wineries, and any terms or limitations on the program, consult the Oregon Wine Board’s information on the promotion. The winery list identifies locations offering the waived tasting fee and clarifies any restrictions or seasonal variations in participation.
Travelers should note airline baggage rules still apply regarding packing and transporting alcohol, including volume and packaging requirements. Although one case of wine is accepted without an extra checked-bag fee under this promotion, bottles must be appropriately packed to prevent breakage and comply with TSA and airline regulations for checked alcohol.
This promotion is especially useful for visitors planning to tour Oregon’s wine country: it reduces the cost of wine tastings and makes it practical to purchase and bring home bottles as souvenirs or gifts. To maximize the experience, consider contacting wineries in advance to confirm tasting hours and any reservation policies.
