Flight from Oakland to Palm Springs

Mary KayFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026

Alaska is excellent with many options between SoCal and NoCal. Being able to fly into Santa Rosa was a great option to avoid the hectic pace of other airports. Palm Springs and Santa Rosa are great secondary airports to use.

Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2024

SFO ~ most convenient People should prepare themselves for cold temperature inside the cabin, bring coat/jacket and food in case flight is delayed.
