Don’t let baggage fees stop you from bringing home a case of Pinot from Oregon's South Willamette Valley wineries. Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan members can check a case of wine for free on a return flight out of the Eugene Airport thanks to the Oregon Wines Fly Free program.
Please note that the first case free program applies to all out-bound domestic destinations. While the wine can be checked through on international flights, Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan passengers must meet the customs requirements of the destination country.
Another added bonus of the Oregon Wines Fly Free program is that passengers showing their Alaska boarding passes within a week of their arrival in Oregon will receive complimentary tastings at more than 300 participating Oregon wineries.
Customers may join the Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan for free at www.alaskaair.com.
For program details and an updated list of participating wineries, visit www.oregonwine.org/oregon-wines-fly-free. The offer also applies to airports in Portland, Medford, Redmond, and Walla Walla.
Oregon Wines Fly Free is a partnership with Travel Oregon, Alaska Airlines and the Oregon Wine Board.
