Alaska Airlines adds ?Freight for Less' to Club 49 benefits

Starting today when traveling within the state of Alaska, Club 49 members can book up to 100 pounds of freight through Alaska Air Cargo for a flat rate of $10.

Additionally, the airline is adding an every day cargo benefit, where members can ship up to 100 pounds of cargo to 17 Alaska communities for a flat rate of $40.

"We know that air travel and freight are a way of life in our great state, especially in rural Alaska," said Marilyn Romano, Alaska Airlines' regional vice president. "By adding Freight for Less to our lineup of Club 49 benefits, Alaskans can save money when they travel with or ship their gear and their groceries all on Alaska Airlines."

Freight for Less marks the fourth tier of Alaska Airlines' Club 49 program, which includes two free checked bags, access to weekly fare sales and two "Travel Now" discounts, valid for 30 percent off last-minute travel.
