On Thursday (November 13, 2025), Alaska Airlines announced the launch of new summer seasonal nonstop service between Seattle (SEA) and Rome (FCO).  Starting April 28, 2026, the route will operate daily with a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner.  With the added flights, Alaska increases the Seattle-Rome flight frequency from 4 times a week to daily, as a result of strong demand, and will become the only airline daily direct service on the route.  Guests traveling to Rome will enjoy the Group’s new global experience, including lie-flat seats, enclosed suites and multi-course Business Class dining.  Return fares on the route are now available for booking from as low as $599 on the airline’s website.  Alaska will also soon begin ticket sales for their new daily, year-round service between Seattle and London Heathrow, which also launches next spring.
