Alaska Airlines has launched daily nonstop service between Seattle and London Heathrow, strengthening its international network. The year-round service marks Alaska’s second European destination introduced this year and begins just ahead of the busy summer travel season. Last month, the airline launched its first-ever transatlantic route to Rome, and on May 28, it will begin nonstop service to Reykjavík, Iceland.
“As we connect the West Coast to Europe in new ways, our focus is on delivering a meaningful experience that feels distinctly Alaska—warm, thoughtful and elevated at every touchpoint,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. “For our guests in the U.S., we’re opening more convenient access to Europe with the airline they know and love, and for our guests in Europe and beyond, we’re bringing our signature West Coast hospitality to every step of the journey, reflecting the comfort and care we’re known for.”
Alaska’s daily service will operate out of London Heathrow‘s Terminal 3. The new route also opens the door for UK travelers to explore the Pacific Northwest and connect beyond Seattle through Alaska Airlines’ extensive West Coast network, including the Hawaiian Islands.
