Alaska Airlines is following a well-worn trend of aspiring global carriers in launching service to London. Tickets are now on sale for a new nonstop flight from Seattle to London Heathrow, marking Alaska’s first-ever flight to the United Kingdom and a major step forward in its global ambitions.
Introductory fares start at $699 round-trip, which recognizes Alaska is entering a competitive market that is currently already served by British Airways, Delta Air Lines, and Virgin Atlantic. Points pricing via Atmos are currently not great, with one-way tickets running 42.5K miles for economy and 200K for business class.
