Operated by Hawaiian Airlines on an Airbus A330-200, the flight offers various cabin choices and is set to significantly streamline international travel. This route represents Alaska's initial step in broader international expansion plans, which aim to include more destinations like Europe by 2030. With promotional round-trip fares starting at $612, it presents a promising opportunity for travelers seeking new experiences in Tokyo.
"Hawaiian has been serving the Tokyo market for nearly 15 years," Joe Sprague, CEO at Hawaiian Airlines, said in a statement obtained by Travel + Leisure. "We're thrilled to open this new global gateway with Alaska, giving more Pacific Northwest travelers and beyond the opportunity to experience the award-winning hospitality that Hawaiian is known for."
Our growing fleet of widebody aircraft, which includes the flagship 787 Dreamliner, unleashes a world of possibilities of where we can fly to from Seattle. Looking ahead, we'll have exciting additional milestones as we share the new international routes we'll be launching in the coming years, including destinations in Europe, as part of our plans to serve at least 12 international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle by 2030," Alaska Air Group CEO Ben Minicucci said.
