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.)

Still waiting for either a CX or JL service to MIA to help with Asia to South & Central American or Caribbean 1 stop routings. 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.

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 Oneworld booking and pricing experiences
Also Who will be the next oneworld member? + New membership announcements [merged]

- Rome remains one of the most-requested destinations for Mileage Plan members and it's the largest European destination not currently served nonstop from Seattle
- Flights will begin in May 2026 and can be purchased at alaskaair.com starting in fall 2025
