Alaska Airlines has announced that it will open a Seattle to Rome route in May 2026. Ticket sales will begin this fall.
It is one of the most requested destinations by Mileage Plan members and the largest city in Europe that does not have direct flights from Seattle.
Alaska Airlines is merging with Hawaiian Airlines and is expected to receive a single operating permit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) as early as this fall. As a result, Alaska Airlines will operate using a Boeing 787-9 aircraft. This will be Alaska Airlines’ first route to Europe.
