Alaska Airlines is stepping up mask enforcement and adding new security measures on flights to and from the Washington, D.C. area ahead of Joe Biden s presidential inauguration next week.
Among the new rules: Passengers on Washington, D.C. flights must remain seated for the first hour after takeoff and for one hour before landing. The airline also said it is limiting ticket sales on flights into Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Dulles International Airport, and Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport; banning firearms from check-in luggage to these airports; and stepping up mask enforcement efforts both on the ground and in the air.
