Cheap SkyWest Airlines Flights

You book through whichever major airline SkyWest is operating the flight for — United Express, Delta Connection, American Eagle, or Alaska SkyWest. There's no separate SkyWest booking site.

SkyWest doesn't have its own hub — its aircraft operate from the hub airports of whichever of its four airline partners (United, Delta, American, or Alaska) it's flying for on a given route.

SkyWest itself isn't directly in an alliance, but because its flights are always sold under a major partner brand, passengers get that carrier's alliance benefits — Star Alliance via United, SkyTeam via Delta, or oneworld via American.

SkyWest's business model is built around capacity purchase agreements with multiple major carriers simultaneously, which diversifies its revenue and makes it the largest regional airline operator in the US by fleet size.

SkyWest primarily operates Bombardier CRJ and Embraer E175 regional jets, configured to match the specific cabin standards of whichever major carrier it's flying for.

They're related but distinct companies — SkyWest is a separate operating airline, but all its flights are sold, ticketed, and experienced by passengers under the brand of United, Delta, American, or Alaska.

This follows the standard rules of whichever airline brand your flight is booked under — check the specific carrier's (United, Delta, American, or Alaska) carry-on policy for your fare.

Checked baggage follows the fare rules of the major airline brand (United, Delta, American, or Alaska) your SkyWest-operated flight is sold under.

Yes, seat selection works the same as on the major carrier your flight is booked under, following that airline's standard fare rules.
