Alaska is rolling out a new business-class experience as it expands further into Europe and Asia. Here's what to expect.

"We set out to design a Business Class experience that is both sophisticated and authentically Alaska: premium, comfortable and thoughtfully created for our guests."

"Alaska's high-dollar 787 seat, Elevate Ascent, will feature its usual amenities: lie-flat beds, 18-inch seatback screens, high-end meals, and privacy doors."

"The overall 787 experience will be a step up from business class on its Airbus A330 aircraft, which lack the suite-style seats and new amenities."

Alaska Airlines is upgrading its Boeing 787 business class to enhance its competitive edge against American, Delta, and United. The new suite-style cabins will feature lie-flat beds, privacy doors, and high-end meals. The airline aims to establish a unique Alaska identity following its merger with Hawaiian Airlines. The upgraded experience includes more entree options, improved linens, and a dessert cart. Alaska's 787 service will operate long-haul routes, including Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul, with future plans for London and Rome.
