AS will fly SEA-Europe in 2026
Alaska's CEO has announced that AS will fly nonstop from SEA to some undisclosed European destination in 2026. This follows the carrier's nonstop service from SEA to Tokyo (NRT) starting next week, and to ICN sometime in September. Presumably both initial routes will utilize A330 metal that came with the Hawaiian merger. (HA already flies HNL-NRT and HNL-ICN.)

DFW is definitely nice but only a limited number of South & Central American or Caribbean cities are served from there, AA is mostly MIA now. Both have aircraft to fly it now but seems not a priority for profit. Currently a lot of those require an overnight stopover on both the outbound and return. Having MIA flights could help a lot. |
I don't see Asia-MIA from AA..JL partners with LATAM and the rest of Central/South America to Asia is dominated by Skyteam.

Better if this thread is kept on topic of actual "New or changed routes and services"
Not hopes or speculation. |
Are the HA flights now bookable on a xONEx ticket? I'm not sure how HA fits into this AS corp structure.

HA (owned by AS) is not currently a one world airline. Date to join unknown. AS - HA are going to merge into a single airline operating certificate, reservation system and frequent flyer program. HA will be a brand of AS. Your question better asked in https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onew...iences-72.html Also https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/onew...merged-40.html |

For the west coast to Europe on xONEx tix, DOH would still be a better destination, no?
