SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 19, 2002--Horizon Air and Alaska Airlines have lowered their regular fares for travel from Medford and Klamath Falls to Los Angeles International Airport.

"These new fares dramatically reduce the cost for business travelers and provide a new lower regular fare for leisure travelers," said Patrick Zachwieja, vice president of marketing and planning. "These fares are in addition to any limited-time specials and sale fares that may appear from time to time."

The new fares apply to Horizon Air's daily nonstop jet service between Medford and Los Angeles, as well as flights from Medford and Klamath Falls to Los Angeles as connecting itineraries provided in conjunction with Alaska Airlines.

A one-way fare with a 21-day advance from Medford or Klamath Falls to Los Angeles is $105, based on a roundtrip purchase. A 14-day advance fare is $135, based on a roundtrip purchase.

The above fares include Federal Excise Tax and any applicable fuel surcharges, but they do not include Passenger Facility Charges of up to $18 (amount depends on itinerary), Federal Segment Tax of $3 per segment (takeoff and landing) on itinerary, and September 11th Security Fee of $2.50 per enplanement (up to $10). Roundtrip sale fares may be limited and are nonrefundable; however, the flight ticket can be changed for a $50 fee, plus any applicable changes in fare. All fares are subject to change without notice.

Horizon Air has served Medford and Klamath Falls since 1982. Horizon Air serves 41 cities throughout Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, Arizona, British Columbia, and Alberta.

In the last few months, Horizon Air has added service in several cities: between Medford and Los Angeles, from Boise and Palm Springs to Sacramento, and from Portland and San Jose to Tucson.
