Walla Walla Regional (ALW) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Walla Walla Regional (ALW) Airport

Wine country deserves a proper welcome, and it begins the moment your Alaska Airlines jet rolls up to the terminal at ALW. Union Limousine provides a Walla Walla Regional (ALW) Airport limo service for travelers across Washington, WA who want a chauffeur at the curb, a spotless vehicle, and a direct ride to their winery, hotel, or boardroom. Our Washington airport limo service tracks every inbound flight from Seattle, adjusts to schedule changes, and has you rolling within minutes of collecting your bags.

Walla Walla Regional Airport sits three miles northeast of downtown off U.S. Highway 12, within easy reach of the airport wine district, Whitman College, and the foothills of the Blue Mountains. Our chauffeurs know the Valley's back roads as well as its main corridors, so transfers to College Place, Milton Freewater across the Oregon line, Dayton, Waitsburg, and the Tri Cities stay calm and predictable in every season.

Why Travelers in Washington, WA Choose Us at ALW?

Union Limousine has delivered chauffeured transportation since 1997, and that experience shows up in the small moments at a small airport: the chauffeur who already knows the single baggage carousel, the quote that holds firm after a weather delay, the sedan idling at the curb before you reach the exit doors. Every limo service reservation at ALW comes with the following standards.

• Live flight monitoring for each Alaska Airlines arrival from Seattle Tacoma
• Meet and greet inside the terminal or curbside pickup at the arrivals door
• Fixed, all inclusive quotes that spell out wait time, gratuity, and fuel in advance
• Licensed, insured, background checked chauffeurs in professional attire
• Child seats, extra luggage capacity, and winery route mapping on request
• Round the clock dispatch for 5 a.m. departures and late evening arrivals

Travelers who want an executive sedan for the same route can book our ALW airport car service and receive the same chauffeur standard at a sharper price point.

Winery Tours, Weddings, and Corporate Travel from ALW

The Walla Walla Valley holds over 130 wineries, and at least twenty tasting rooms sit within a half mile of the runway in the converted World War II buildings of the airport district. Our limo service in Washington pairs naturally with a tasting itinerary: your chauffeur handles the driving between estate wineries on Old Milton Highway, the airport district tasting rooms, and the downtown wine bars while your group enjoys the pours. Wedding parties use our stretch limousines for the run from ALW to vineyard venues, and corporate groups book Sprinter vans for retreats at the Marcus Whitman Hotel and Conference Center. Parents visiting students at Whitman College find the airport a twelve minute hop from campus.

Connections to Tri Cities and Seattle Tacoma

ALW hosts a single carrier, so some itineraries route through Pasco. Our Tri Cities (PSC) airport limo service covers the 45 mile run west on Highway 12 with the same chauffeur and the same fixed quote, and travelers continuing through the Alaska hub can arrange our Seattle Tacoma (SEA) airport limo service for the far end of the flight. One dispatcher, one invoice, both airports covered.

Every Union Limousine vehicle is detailed before dispatch and sized to the group, so a couple on a tasting weekend and a 56 person wine club outing both get the right ride.

Walla Walla Regional (ALW) Airport Information

Airport Overview and History

The first municipal airfield in Walla Walla dates to 1922, and the city formally took over a new field in 1930. World War II transformed it: the War Department spent over $7.5 million building Walla Walla Army Air Base on 2,164 acres, raising 300 buildings to house roughly 6,000 personnel. The 91st Bomb Group trained here on Flying Fortress bombers, including crews of the famous Memphis Belle, and later classes flew Liberator bombers. Over 8,000 airmen passed through, producing 594 heavy bomber crews. In 1947 the Air Force declared the base surplus, and the city and county received full title in 1949 in the nation's first approved joint ownership of an airport. From 1965 into the early 1970s the field doubled as an Air Defense Command dispersal base for Delta Dagger and Delta Dart interceptors, and the grey alert hangars still stand at the north end of the ramp. The Port of Walla Walla assumed ownership in 1989, renamed the field Walla Walla Regional Airport, and has since turned the old wartime buildings into a busy incubator for wineries and manufacturers.

Airlines and Destinations

Alaska Airlines is the only scheduled carrier at ALW, with flights operated by Horizon Air and SkyWest on Embraer 175 regional jets. The sole route is Seattle Tacoma International, with about 19 round trips per week on a schedule that shifts seasonally, and every other domestic destination connects through that hub. The move from Q400 turboprops to E175 jets prompted a terminal remodel announced in 2022, adding a larger boarding area and the glass walls the Transportation Security Administration requires. Ameriflight operates cargo runs to Spokane, Yakima, the Tri Cities, and Boeing Field in Seattle, and the Walla Walla University flight school keeps the pattern busy with training aircraft. Earlier generations of travelers flew West Coast Airlines jetliners and Cascade Airways twinjets from this same field, and Cascade kept its main maintenance base here.

Terminal, Traffic, and Parking

Terminal Layout

ALW operates one terminal with a single security checkpoint, one baggage carousel, Alaska Airlines kiosks and counter, rental car desks, and an Italian restaurant on site. The airport administrative office sits on the second floor. Counters close well before departure, so the airport asks passengers to be checked in and through screening early, especially on the morning Seattle flight.

Passenger Traffic

Bureau of Transportation Statistics data shows 36,740 passengers flew the Seattle route from ALW in 2024, and the FAA logged 37,260 aircraft movements that year with 118 aircraft based on the field. General aviation makes up over 90 percent of activity, with air taxi, scheduled service, and occasional military traffic filling in the rest. Harvest season and the spring and fall release weekends bring the heaviest commercial loads, and private jet traffic rises sharply during those same weeks.

Parking Overview

Parking at ALW is free. The airport's own FAQ explains the rule: long term parking is free for up to two weeks, and travelers staying away longer simply phone the office with their vehicle details to keep it free. Short term stalls near the entrance are meant for visits under one day, with accessible stalls in that lot. Both lots sit a short walk from the terminal doors.

Pickup, Drop Off, and Ground Transportation

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

The terminal loop road passes directly in front of the arrivals and departures doors, and the compact layout means the curb is a short walk from the baggage carousel. Our chauffeurs stage in the short term lot, confirm the aircraft has blocked in, then pull to the curb as you exit. For meet and greet service, your chauffeur waits inside near baggage claim holding a name sign. Departing passengers are dropped at the curb with time to spare for the early counter cutoff.

Ground Transportation Options

Hertz, Budget, and Enterprise serve the airport, with Enterprise offering pickup and return. Public transit does not run a fixed route to the terminal; Valley Transit sends a bus by request when passengers call ahead, and its regional connections link the downtown transfer center to the Grape Line coach for Pasco, where Amtrak and Greyhound continue west. Taxis and rideshare drivers are few in the Valley, and availability on late arrivals is unreliable.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Confirm your Seattle connection time; the limited daily schedule leaves little margin for a missed link
• Reserve ground transportation before you fly, since rideshare coverage thins out after dark
• Pack for the climate: summers push past 90 degrees and winters bring freezing fog and ice on Highway 12
• Harvest crush and release weekends sell out vehicles and hotels weeks ahead
• Many tasting rooms close by 5 p.m., so set the first stop around your arrival time
• Share your flight number at booking and we track the rest

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Wins at ALW?

At a large hub a taxi line always exists. At Walla Walla Regional it often does not. A prebooked chauffeur removes that gamble: the vehicle is confirmed, the price is fixed, the driver has your flight number, and a delay out of Seattle changes nothing on your end. Rideshare surge pricing, drivers declining a run to Dayton or Milton Freewater, and the scramble for a car on a Friday release weekend all disappear when the reservation is made in advance.
