Get your wine glasses ready. aha!, powered by ExpressJet Airlines, is waiving baggage fees for wine from its popular wine destinations. More specifically, for a limited time, aha! passengers can bring one wine box as free checked baggage

“Your vacation doesn’t have to stop when you land at home,” said Tim Sieber, head of ExpressJet’s aha! business unit. “Many of aha!’s destinations are in incredible wine regions throughout the Northwest. And now, we’re making it easy for you to bring your favorite wines home to enjoy from the comforts of your home.”
The Wine Flies Free program begins now, one month ahead of aha!’s launch of flights between Reno-Tahoe and the Charles M. Schulz Sonoma County Airport in Santa Rosa – connecting wine-lovers with the famous California wine AVAs in just under an hour. Santa Rosa joins aha! wine country destinations in Oregon, Washington and Idaho.

The Details
Until November 30, 2022, aha! will accept one dedicated wine bottle case as a free checked bag. Customers can opt-in by selecting the “wine flies free” option during booking or by declaring their wine item during their check-in at the airport. Each participant must be 21 or over and is allowed one container with up to one case (12 standard bottles) of wine, weighing up to 50 lbs. Wine must be unopened and professionally packaged in a shipper box with protective padding, inserts and labels.
