New nonstop flights between Seattle and London aboard Boeing 787 Dreamliner

Alaska Airlines is now offering tickets to its fifth intercontinental destination from Seattle, with year-round flights to London set to commence on May 21. The daily service between Seattle and Heathrow will be operated by Alaska's widebody long-haul 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Tickets to London are now available for purchase on alaskaair.com, with round-trip fares starting at $699. This new route is perfectly timed for summer travel in Europe, with flight times allowing guests to spend a full day in either city before boarding their flights. Alaska will operate out of London Heathrow's Terminal 3, facilitating seamless connections to additional destinations across Europe and beyond.

The expansion into the London market presents significant opportunities for Alaska Airlines, facilitated by its alliances with American Airlines and British Airways. This partnership is expected to deepen, offering even greater value and connectivity to consumers. With the addition of London to its route network, Alaska now offers flights to five intercontinental destinations from Seattle, including Rome, Reykjavik, Tokyo Narita, and Seoul Incheon.

  • London Heathrow, United Kingdom: Daily, year-round flights beginning May 21
  • Rome, Italy: Daily, summer seasonal flights beginning April 28
  • Reykjavik, Iceland: Daily, summer seasonal flights beginning May 28
  • Tokyo Narita, Japan: Daily, year-round flights that are now flying
  • Seoul Incheon, South Korea: 5x weekly, year-round flights that are now flying

Alaska Airlines is committed to providing its guests with an exceptional travel experience with its 787-9 aircraft set to feature ultra-fast Wi-Fi by fall 2026, thanks to a partnership with T-Mobile and powered by Starlink. The airline currently has five Boeing 787-9 aircraft in its fleet.

By 2030, the airline plans to serve at least 12 intercontinental destinations from Seattle, with additional routes to be announced in the coming years.
