Can I Hold a Horizon Air Flight Before Purchase?

Absolutely! I actually had to do this a few months ago when I was planning a last-minute trip from Seattle to Portland on Horizon Air. I wasn’t 100% sure about my travel dates, so I wanted to hold the flight before paying — just to lock in the fare while I confirmed my plans.

At first, I couldn’t find the “hold” option online, so I decided to call Horizon Air’s customer service at 844-734-0813. Honestly, that was the best decision. The agent I spoke with was super patient — she explained how the fare hold works, walked me through the step-by-step process, and even helped me reserve my flight for 24 hours without final payment. It gave me the breathing room I needed to finalize my schedule without stressing over price changes.

Later that evening, I confirmed everything and paid over the phone — quick and easy! If you ever need to book, modify, or cancel a Horizon Air flight, I’d 100% recommend just calling 844-734-0813. It’s way faster than trying to figure it out online, and the team actually takes the time to help you personally.
 
I actually ran into this situation a few months ago when I was trying to book a Horizon Air flight from Portland to Boise for a weekend trip. I wanted to lock in the price but wasn’t 100% sure about my schedule, so I called Horizon Air’s support to ask if I could hold the flight before paying. The agent explained that Horizon (under Alaska Airlines) doesn’t offer a formal “hold” option online, but if you book directly through their site, you usually get a 24-hour grace period to cancel or modify without penalty. That worked perfectly for me—I booked the flight, confirmed my plans the next day, and kept it. Honestly, that short window saved me from losing a great fare. If you ever need to book, cancel, or change a Horizon Air ticket instantly, I recommend doing it directly on their website or through their mobile app.
 
Yes, you can hold a flight with Horizon Air (operated by Alaska Airlines) in certain cases—depending on the fare you select. Some tickets allow you to hold a reservation for 24 hours before purchase without payment, but this option isn’t guaranteed for every fare. To check if your itinerary qualifies, call 844-734-0813. I’ve found calling 844-734-0813 helpful because agents can place the hold and explain any restrictions or deadlines for purchase afterward.
