Seattleites will have two new options to Asia on their hometown airline next year when Alaska Airlines launches new nonstops to Tokyo and Seoul.

Alaska will fly daily from Seattle to Tokyo’s Narita Airport beginning May 12, 2025, giving travelers a new option to explore the streets of Ginza or stay at one of the city’s many luxurious hotels. The flights to Seoul begin in October 2025 offering travelers easy access to the city’s vibrant cultural scene and the center of K-pop.

The new routes are among the more visible steps in Alaska’s merger with Hawaiian Airlines. The deal included Hawaiian’s widebody jets that can fly intercontinental routes — Hawaiian will operate the new flights with Airbus A330s — and made the new services to Asia possible. The airlines plan to fully integrate by October 2025.

Tokyo and Seoul are just a start for Alaska. The airline teased plans for at least 12 new intercontinental routes from Seattle in the future.

“From our global gateway in Seattle, we can conveniently connect travelers from across our network as they head to Asia and beyond,” said Ben Minicucci, CEO of Alaska Air Group, in a statement. “Hawaiian’s spacious widebody aircraft, along with its excellent onboard service and amenities, will make for a terrific trip from one side of the Pacific Rim to the other.”

Travelers from the 104 destinations across North America that Alaska flies to from Seattle, like Boise, Denver, and Kansas City, will have easy connections to the new flights. And beyond Tokyo, travelers can connect to Alaska’s Oneworld alliance partner Japan Airlines’ flights to more destinations in Asia.

Alaska is also adjusting the two airlines’ schedules between Hawaii and the U.S. mainland to offer travelers more options. The airline will add new flights between Honolulu and Portland, Ore., San Diego, and Seattle; the latter will see up to six flights a day including three on Hawaiian widebodies. Hawaiian will also fly its largest planes between Seattle and Anchorage next summer. And Alaska plans new nonstops between San Francisco and both Kona and Lihue in Hawaii beginning in June.

The changes are all part of the synergies that Alaska hopes to gain by merging with Hawaiian. The airline claims that together the carriers’ will be a much stronger force on the West Coast, especially when competing with the Big Three — American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines.
