Alaska Now Selling Dreamliner Seats from KSEA to EGLL
Beginning [9-Dec-25], Alaska Airlines is selling tickets to its fifth intercontinental destination from its growing global gateway in Seattle: “Hello, London! We’ll offer daily, year-round service between Seattle and London Heathrow starting on May 21, 2026, on board our widebody, long-haul 787 Dreamliner aircraft – reimagined for a global travel experience.”
Guests traveling from the U.S. can now purchase airfares to London for as low as $699 roundtrip at alaskaair.com, just in time for planning summertime travel in Europe. Alaska recently announced that its new service from Seattle to Rome is now available for booking, along with new nonstop flights to Reykjavik, Iceland.
“Flight times for the Seattle-London route will allow guests to spend a whole day in either city before boarding their flights – a potential benefit for business travelers. London is the largest corporate market from Seattle. Alaska will operate out of London Heathrow’s Terminal 3, which facilitates convenient connections to additional destinations across Europe and beyond on oneworld member airlines and additional global partners.”
New nonstop service to the United Kingdom:
| City pair | Start | End | Departure | Arrival |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seattle – London Heathrow | May 21, 2026 | Year-round | 9:40 p.m. | 3:05 p.m. +1 |
| London Heathrow – Seattle | May 22, 2026 | Year-round | 5:00 p.m. | 6:50 p.m. |
All times local
“Alaska’s expansion into the London market presents significant opportunities. Facilitated by American Airlines and British Airways and based on an anticipated deepening of their alliance with Alaska, this expansion will offer even greater value and connectivity to consumers.
“Our new international flights can take you to the heart of all the action – infused with the award-winning service, comfort and care that you expect from us as we connect the Pacific Northwest and Europe. Alaska is introducing a new curb-to-cabin experience on our widebody aircraft that will set the bar for international journeys from the U.S.”

Alaska Airlines, in partnership with the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA), today unveiled a custom-designed Fallen Soldier Cart during a ceremonial hand-off to honor the nation’s military heroes on their final journey. This marks the 18th cart created by Alaska Airlines maintenance employees, and the second cart for SEA, as part of the airline’s ongoing commitment to honoring fallen service members.
The Fallen Soldier Cart is a solemn and dignified means of transporting the remains of deceased military personnel to and from aircraft. Available to all airlines operating at SEA, the cart serves as a powerful symbol of respect and remembrance for the sacrifices made by service members and their families.
“It is our honor to have this Fallen Soldier Cart in our hometown and continue our commitment to our fallen military members. Our program is committed to ensuring every active, retired, or veteran military member, along with their families, receives the utmost care they deserve for their service and sacrifice. Our goal is to house a cart at every airport served by Alaska Airlines to pay tribute to every fallen service member in a respectful and dignified manner.”
—Brian Bowden—Founder and Volunteer of the Alaska Airlines Fallen Soldier Program
The SEA cart features a unique design that includes:
- A metal art skyline of Seattle, featuring the Space Needle.
A plaque honoring the fallen military members of Eagle Flight Detachment, “C” Company, 6th Battalion, 159th Aviation Regiment, V Corps who lost their lives on April 14th, 1994, in Northern Iraq.
The Washington State flag.
A blue-painted exterior with red carpet and American flag curtains.
Emblems representing all six branches of the U.S. Armed Forces: Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, and Space Force.
“As a veteran and someone who has engaged with military families my entire career, I am proud of the respect that service members and their families receive at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. I am particularly proud of the care and investment by our partners at Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air to ensure that a fallen soldier’s final journey is one marked by honor and remembrance.”
—Steve Metruck—Port of Seattle Executive Director and retired U.S. Coast Guard Read Admiral
To commemorate the occasion, Alaska Airlines also displayed the aircraft livery, “Honoring Those Who Serve,” which serve as flying tributes to the bravery and dedication of military personnel.
Launched in May 2011 by Alaska Airlines employees, the Fallen Soldier Program follows military protocols to ensure the respectful handling of fallen service members. The program not only honors the deceased but also reinforces the airline’s enduring support for the military community.
AK: “Fly Smart. Land Happy.”

About Hawaiian Airlines:
“For more than 95 years, Hawaiian Airlines has been woven into the fabric of life in the islands. In 1929, operating under our original name, Inter-Island Airways, we took flight into history, launching commercial aviation in Hawaiʻi with a humble fleet of just two aircraft. Today we offer the largest and most convenient network of flights for kamaʻāina (residents) and visitors, connecting communities, carrying cargo and supporting economic activity. “We do more than just fly — we share the spirit of Hawai‘i around the world. From the naming of our aircraft to our onboard hoʻokipa (hospitality) and cabin design, every detail reflects our home.
