JetBlue Heads North to Alaska, Southwest Goes South to Mexico, and More New Routes This Week

Sometimes it’s hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we’ve complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.

· JetBlue:
Even though in-flight WiFi arrived in Alaska this week, there’s another airline that’s bringing even better entertainment to Anchorage. JetBlue announced their 65th destination this week with seasonal flights to and from Anchorage and Long Beach, California, beginning on May 26 of next year. Flights start at just $119 each way—not too bad—and are available for booking today. Just remember your camera, as JetBlue is asking for pictures in case you can see Russia from your hotel room!

· SAS:
There are a few new options in and out of Norway and Denmark this week, as SAS looks to expand their offerings around the globe. First, the airline of Scandinavia will start Oslo to New York service beginning in March of 2011. They’ll also start up service direct between Copenhagen and Shanghai sometime over the winter. New York’s new route will be a daily option aboard Airbus A330-300 planes, and the route to the east will utilize Airbus A340-300 aircraft five times per week. Not settling with just international routes, there’s also new options within Europe as well, like Oslo to Munich and Stockholm to Venice.
