Just days after American Airlines said it would cease its Austin-San Jose nonstop daily service, Alaska Airlines announced Monday it will launch daily flights between the high-tech hubs starting Sept. 2.The Austin-San Jose flights, which American offered since 1992, have become known as the "nerd bird" by virtue of the link between the tech centers of Austin and the Silicon Valley.
The new flight will leave Austin, Tex. at 3 p.m. and arrive in San Jose, Calif., at 4:40 p.m. The return flight will depart at 8:55 a.m. and arrive in Austin at 2:15p.m.
Alaska Airlines will operate the route with Boeing 737-800s, accommodating 141 passengers in the main cabin and 16 in first class.
