Those award planners over at Alaska Mileage Plan never seem to rest. Hot on the heels of their fall award sale comes their winter sale — this time offering discounted award travel between any city in Colorado, Montana, Idaho, Oregon or Washington and the California cities of San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, Sacramento or Long Beach.

The lure is undeniable — if the weather in Kalispell is just too much to take, take a quick jaunt to sunny California. Or if you’ve skied Tahoe so much you have a pet name for every mogul, take a trip out to Colorado to see what real mountains are like.

Book your award travel online at alaskaair.com for travel on Alaska Airlines or Horizon Air and save 7,000 miles off the regular 20,000-mile Mileage Plan Coach Saver award.

This offer is valid for travel between Jan. 10 and March 15, 2005. In addition to the standard Saver award blackout dates, the 7,000-mile discount is not available on Feb. 17-21 or 26-27, 2005.
