Alaska Airlines will deploy Boeing 787-9 aircraft on its Tokyo/Narita–Seattle route from October 4.
The route is currently operated once daily round-trip with Hawaiian Airlines Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The Boeing 787-9 was introduced as the first wide-body aircraft under the Alaska Airlines brand and features a livery inspired by the aurora borealis.
The aircraft has a total of 300 seats: 34 Business Class Suites, 79 Premium Class seats, and 187 Main Cabin seats. The Business Class Suites are the airline’s first fully enclosed, lie-flat seats, with Filson bedding and amenity bags provided. All classes are equipped with USB power outlets and monitors. Starlink inflight Wi-Fi is expected to be installed by the end of the year.
