Sea to Aus flights with bed?
Are there any flights that have a bed in business or first to go from Sea to austin tx?
Looks like a direct flight is around 4 hours but on a 737 or airbus 321/220 looking at united or delta.
No beds? Even if its a red-eye?

Only a few transcon markets in the continental US command a sufficient price premium to justify flat bed seats on a consistent basis, e.g., NYC-LAX/SFO. Outside of these markets, airlines sometimes run widebody aircraft with flat beds between their hubs and on select hub-to-spoke routes (e.g., NYC-MCO during spring break) for repositioning or capacity reasons, but these cannot be guaranteed and aircraft usage can vary from week to week or month to month. Unfortunately, SEA-AUS does not fall into any of the above categories.

In addition to the premium high-yield business-oriented routes such as NYC-LAX and vv, flat beds are more likely to sometimes appear on long hub-hub routes. You might consider a connection SEA-ATL-AUS on DL for instance, in order to get flat beds on the SEA-ATL segment. Depending on schedules, this could be better than a four hour flight in regular FC.
