Alaska Airlines adding flights to LAX from Fresno

On May 25, 2020May 25, 2020 By jamesinclair

Just a quick post to share some news from Fresno2Minneapolis on Twitter. Starting in September, Alaska Airlines will begin service twice a day between Fresno and Los Angeles! The flight will be on an Embraer RJ-175, operated by Skywest.

If all goes as planned, they would join American Airlines and United on this route. Note that due to COVID-19, those flights are currently not operating. However, if they come back as before, there would be 10 daily flights between the two cities.

The flight schedule, (assuming no more Coronavirus changes) from Fresno to LAX would be as follows:

6:00 AA
6:20 UA
7:30 Alaska
8:01 UA
11:55 AA
13:55 UA
14:00 Alaska
16:10 AA
17:57 UA
19:15 AA Click to read more!

Thoughts on FAT airport expansion

On February 12, 2019October 27, 2019 By jamesinclair

If you read this blog, you’ve probably heard the news that Fresno Air Terminal (FAT) will be expanded in the next couple of years, and they’re calling it FATforward because why not.

Of course, the biggest expansion in FAT history was in 2002, when the second-level concourse was built with jet bridges (title picture).

The expansion has two components: terminal expansion, and parking expansion. Let’s talk about parking first! Click to read more!

Shock! Journalist finally realizes that rail is cheaper and more reliable than flying

On December 7, 2014February 19, 2018 By jamesinclair

One of the most frustrating parts about journalism in California, especially in regards to high speed rail (HSR), has been the inability of reporters to see beyond their personal bubble. Many times, it seems like these journalists take their own experience, and extrapolate it to be the “California experience”. For example, if they drive everywhere, then “everybody drives”. Or, when it comes to travel within the state, “everybody flies”. For a rambling discussion at the bar, that’s not an issue, but when these journalists write for major newspapers and get to set the tone, it loses all its amusement.=&0=&
