Alaska Airlines said it has increased the frequency of its upcoming Seattle-Rome service from four times weekly to daily in response to strong demand from customers.

Tickets for the seasonal flights, which will begin on April 28, 2026, are now on sale through Alaska’s website.

The airline first announced the Seattle-Rome connection in August. The service will operate with a Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

Alaska is also gearing up for the launch of daily year-round service to London. Tickets for those flights will go on sale “soon,” the carrier said.

“With our nonstop service from Seattle to Rome and London, we’re opening the door to two of the world’s most iconic regions with the style and care our guests expect from us,” COO Andrew Harrison said in a statement. “These new routes mark a tremendous step in our global expansion and reflect our commitment to delivering a premium international experience from Seattle.”

Alaska is also set to launch nonstop service to Reykjavik, Iceland, next spring. The three new cities will bring the airline closer to its goal of flying at least 12 long-haul international routes from Seattle by 2030.
