Featuring private lie‑flat suites, elevated dining and premium lounge access, the product is designed for comfort as Alaska expands nonstop service to Europe and Asia.
Debuting this spring, the airline’s new long-haul Business Class marks a major step in Alaska’s transformation into the West Coast’s global carrier.
Marking its five-year anniversary as a member of the oneworld® alliance, Alaska highlights its expanded global reach, now connecting guests to more than 900 worldwide destinations.
Alaska Airlines today announced the debut of its all-new International Business Class, a premium long-haul experience launching this spring as the airline expands to Europe and Asia. The unveiling marks a significant milestone in Alaska’s transformation into the West Coast’s global carrier and Seattle’s new leader in international travel — one that now connects guests to over 900 worldwide destinations through the oneworld® alliance.
Designed for long-haul travelers while delivering Alaska’s signature West Coast warmth and hospitality, the airline’s new International Business Class on brand-new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners offers:
We set out to design a Business Class experience that is both sophisticated and authentically Alaska: premium, comfortable and thoughtfully created for our guests. When we debut our new product this spring, it will raise the bar and redefine long-haul travel, while continuing to deliver the remarkable care that sets Alaska apart on the global stage.”
Executive vice president & chief commercial officer, Alaska Airlines
No matter where guests sit, Alaska designs every cabin experience with comfort and care. Guests across both International Premium Class and Main Cabin will enjoy complimentary meals and a plush Filson blanket and pillow to rest and relax throughout the journey. Alaska’s International Premium Class offers four extra inches of legroom, power outlets, 12-inch HD screens, complimentary alcoholic beverages, plus a thoughtfully curated amenity kit by Filson.
The new product and experience coincide with the expansion of Alaska’s international network to Europe, beginning with nonstop service from Seattle to Rome, and will also be offered on flights from Seattle to Seoul starting in April and Tokyo this fall. Clocking in at just over 7 hours of flight time, service to Reykjavík’s Keflavík International Airport will be operated on a 737 MAX 8 and feature its own upgraded premium experience designed to bring comfort and care to the unique needs of that route.
Alaska’s new service from Seattle to Rome begins April 28, followed by London on May 21 and Reykjavík, Iceland on May 28. Tickets are available now at alaskaair.com.
The debut of Alaska’s long-haul Business Class comes as the airline celebrates five years as a member of the oneworld alliance, a milestone that has expanded its global reach and unlocked a new era of international growth.
Since joining oneworld on March 31, 2021, Alaska and its partners now offer seamless connections to more than 900 destinations worldwide, enabling travel on a single ticket. From London Heathrow Airport, guests can continue easily with oneworld partners to destinations such as Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Paris and Venice – with bags checked through to their final destination.
Atmos Rewards or oneworld elite status is also recognized across all oneworld partner airlines, offering priority services, extra baggage perks and access to premium lounges across the world.
Five years ago today we joined the oneworld alliance – a network of the world’s leading airlines – giving our guests more ways to explore the globe while earning and redeeming points toward their next journey and enjoying their Atmos status benefits along the way. Together with our alliance partners, we’ll soon connect guests to world-class destinations across Europe and beyond.”
