Exciting New Routes from Seattle
In a significant expansion of its international network, Alaska Airlines is set to launch its first-ever non-stop flights to Asia from Seattle. Travelers will have the opportunity to fly daily to Tokyo’s Narita Airport, starting May 12, 2025. This new route opens up a world of experiences in Japan’s bustling capital, from the luxurious shopping of Ginza to its rich cultural offerings.
Seoul Awaits in October 2025
Building on its commitment to enhance connectivity, Alaska Airlines will also introduce non-stop service to Seoul in October 2025. This route provides easy access to South Korea’s vibrant cultural scene, famous for its K-pop and tasty cuisine. These new destinations are part of Alaska’s broader initiative following its merger with Hawaiian Airlines, which has equipped Alaska with the necessary resources to operate intercontinental flights.
Future Growth and Connectivity
Alaska Airlines has exciting plans for the future, with CEO Ben Minicucci indicating that this is just the beginning. The airline teased the launch of at least 12 new intercontinental routes, enhancing options for travelers connecting from its extensive North American network. This robust expansion, bolstered by Hawaiian’s spacious Airbus A330s and superior onboard services, aims to provide seamless travel from Seattle to Asia and beyond.
With these new routes, Alaska Airlines is positioned to strengthen its footprint on the West Coast, competing more effectively with major carriers and offering passengers numerous options, including connections to additional destinations in Asia through Japan Airlines. The future looks bright for those flying from Seattle!
