Alaska Airlines has announced that it will introduce a new long-haul business class product called “International Business Class.”
The product will be installed on Boeing 787-9 aircraft. It will feature fully enclosed suites with doors, and every seat will have direct aisle access. Each seat will come with an 18-inch monitor, AC power outlet, and wireless charging. From this autumn, the aircraft will also support in-flight Wi-Fi provided via Starlink.
In-flight dining will include a welcome service featuring a curated selection of wines, cocktails, and craft beers from the U.S. West Coast and various parts of Europe, as well as coffee from Seattle-based Stamp Lounge and an arranged fruit and cheese platter. After appetizers, passengers can choose their main course from up to six options depending on the route. Pre-ordering meals through the airline’s app will also be available. Before arrival, a destination-inspired meal will be served, with a full English breakfast offered on flights to London.
Bedding and amenity kits will be provided by Filson, a brand representing the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Amenities will include a mattress pad, pillow, lumbar and relaxation pillow, extra-large down duvet, an amenity kit featuring products from premium skincare brand Salt & Stone, and a reusable water bottle developed in collaboration with PATH Water.
The new cabin will first be introduced on the Seattle–Rome route. It will then be expanded to the Seattle–Seoul/Incheon route in April, followed by the Seattle–Tokyo/Narita route this autumn.
