SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 2, 2001--Alaskaair.com is giving away a pair of tickets everyday in July for free travel anywhere Alaska Airlines flies.

Enter the "Get Out of Line" Sweepstakes by visiting www.alaskaair.com and viewing a 10-second demonstration of Alaska's Internet Web Check-In, and then sign up for the sweepstakes. An entry can be made everyday.

"This is a fun way for Alaska to let everyone know that Web Check-In turns every Internet connected PC into a boarding pass machine -- you can check in for your flight, receive a seat assignment and print out your boarding pass, all from your home or office," said Steve Jarvis, the carrier's staff vice president of e-marketing. "At the airport you get out of line and head straight to your gate."

Referring friends and family members can also increase the odds of winning. Entrants are able to earn additional sweepstakes entries by submitting the names and e-mail addresses of up to five friends or family members each day. The entrant will earn an additional entry for each valid person referred. The names of friends and family will be used only for the purpose of notifying them of the promotion and will not be saved or used for any other purpose.

No purchase is necessary. Sweepstakes began July 1 and end July

• 31. Entrants must have a valid e-mail address and be 18 years of age or older to win. The sweepstakes are open to U.S. residents of Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California, Idaho, Montana, Arizona, Nevada and Illinois and Canadian residents of British Columbia and Alberta. See official rules at www.alaskaair.com.

Alaska Airlines became the first U.S. carrier to sell tickets online in 1995, and in 1999 was the first carrier in the world to allow customers to check in for flights online via the Internet.
