Tickets are now on sale for Alaska Airlines’ upcoming long-haul route linking Seattle and London.
The new connection, first announced earlier this year, will launch May 21, 2026, the carrier said Tuesday. Alaska plans to operate the route daily with a Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
Both the flight from Seattle to London and the return flight from London to Seattle will depart in the evening, allowing travelers to spend their whole day in either city before boarding their flight. Alaska said the timing is a potential benefit for business travelers in particular.
The carrier will operate out of London Heathrow’s Terminal 3, facilitating connections to Europe via other oneworld members.
By mid-2026, Alaska will offer five intercontinental destinations from Seattle. The airline will start seasonal routes to Rome and Reykjavik, Iceland, in April and May, respectively. Flights to Tokyo and Seoul are already operating.
