SEATTLE -- Horizon Air is now offering fares as low as $69 each way for the Horizon Shuttle between Seattle and Portland when tickets are purchased by July 31 for travel through Aug. 24, 2008. In addition, Horizon is offering Double Miles on the route (July 1 through Sept. 15, 2008) for passengers with Horizon Air/Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan frequent flier accounts.

Members of Mileage Plan can earn 500 miles on Horizon Shuttle flights between Seattle and Portland. When members register online for this Double Miles offer, they'll earn 1,000 miles each way when traveling July 1 through Sept. 15, 2008.

"Our award-winning Mileage Plan is regularly voted one of the best in the industry by fliers," said Dan Russo, Horizon's vice president of marketing and communications. "With it you can build miles when flying to any of the 92 cities served by Horizon and Alaska, and when flying on our partner airlines."

The $69 one-way fare is available with no advance purchase required, and is available on a limited basis on flights between Seattle and Portland scheduled to depart from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. or 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. through Aug. 24, 2008.

Horizon offers convenient schedules for its Shuttle service between Seattle and Portland, with flights operating every half hour each way during business hours. And with Horizon's Ala Cart planeside baggage service, you'll have plenty of room for your carry-on luggage.

Horizon's security-screening express lines (available in both Portland and Seattle) give Shuttle passengers the ability to bypass the long lines to TSA checkpoints and waste no time in arriving at the gate.

All flights come with Horizon's special brand of inflight service, which includes snacks, Starbucks coffee, premium Jones Soda, and Northwest wines and microbrews at no additional charge.
