Alaska Airlines is expanding its European network by introducing services between Seattle and London Heathrow in spring 2026.
The US carrier said it would launch daily Seattle-London flights on 21 May, using Boeing 787-9 aircraft fitted with three cabins including 34 business class suites with lie-flat seats, plus a premium class with extra legroom. The route will operate year-round.
The latest European route comes after the airline announced that it would start summer flights between Seattle and Rome on 28 April 2026. Alaska Airlines also plans to offer a seasonal route from Seattle to Reykjavik starting on 28 May, alongside a codeshare deal with Icelandair.
“As we expand to new markets in Asia and Europe from Seattle, we’re introducing an evolution of the Alaska brand that reflects a bold vision for international growth and our commitment to connecting the Pacific Northwest to destinations around the world,” said Alaska Airlines in a statement.
The airline’s London flights will operate from Heathrow’s Terminal 3 where it can take advantage of connections with fellow Oneworld alliance members.
