Delta currently flies nonstop from Seattle to three destinations in Europe – London, Paris, and Amsterdam. It also serves several markets in Asia, including Taipei, Tokyo, and Seoul.
Earlier this month, Alaska announced new flights between Seattle and Rome as the carrier looks to bolster its long-haul network from the city. Rome will be the airline’s third long-haul route, joining Tokyo Narita and Seoul.
