If you’re planning to fly with Alaska Airlines soon, you may be surprised by a few recent amenity changes.

 

As of this fall, Alaska Airlines added two new beverages to its in-flight service: Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher, a non-alcoholic hoppy water, and a ready-to-drink Straightaway Nitro Espresso Martini made with Stumptown Coffee Roasters coffee. Regarding the former, Alaska Airlines said it was the first U.S. major airline to serve hoppy water. These beverage changes are in addition to other new beverages that made their way to the airline last month, including new wines.

 

The airline is also changing its first-class blankets. A new offering comes from Filson, a Pacific Northwest-based outdoor outfitter. Additionally, on-board restrooms and airport lounge restrooms will now be stocked with Salt & Stone products, including soaps and lotions.

 

“Our guests value unique, high-quality experiences, and these new products allow us to elevate their journey while bringing a bit of regional pride to every flight,” said Todd Traynor-Corey, managing director of guest products, Alaska Airlines. “Partnering with Lagunitas, Filson, Salt & Stone and other West Coast companies is reflective of our commitment to support local brands and provide the ultimate premium guest experience.”

It’s Now Easier to Visit American Samoa

When making your bucket list of national parks you’d like to visit, you might be tempted to overlook National Park of American Samoa due to its remote nature alone. American Samoa sits in the South Pacific, near destinations like Fiji and the Cook Islands. In fact, it’s faster to get there from Australia than it is from the West Coast of the United States.

Experiencing Gorilla Forest Lodge

Perched high within the UNESCO World Heritage site of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, home to more than half of the world's remaining 1,000 mountain gorillas, Gorilla Forest Lodge occupies a position unlike any other as the only luxury accommodation inside the park gates. The complete transformation has elevated the property into an intimate, 10-suite sanctuary where guests can wake to the symphony of the rainforest, trek alongside gorillas in their natural habitat, and return to exceptional comfort that exists in harmony with conservation and community.
