Key Takeaways:

Alaska is expanding its footprint in Europe.

The carrier announced Thursday that it will serve Paris and Athens from Seattle in 2027.

Service to Athens will start first, on May 12, and run through October 2027. Flights will operate three times weekly.

Alaska said it will be the only carrier in the world with flights between the U.S. West Coast and the Greek capital. The route will also be Alaska’s longest in any market.

Service to Paris starts on May 25. Flights will operate five times weekly through October 2027.

Both connections will use the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.

Tickets for Paris and Athens are now available for purchase.

Alaska launched its inaugural service to Europe earlier this year with nonstop flights between Seattle and Rome. It added London and Reykjavík, Iceland, to its network later in the spring.
