Alaska Airlines adds new nonstop between Honolulu and Seattle/Everett - Paine Field....

Alaska Airlines to operate a daily year-round service between Seattle/Everett -Paine Field and Oahu, Hawai'i 

Alaska Airlines will launch the new service on 17th November, ready for the autumn/fall peak holiday season.  The new service will be the longest flight the carrier operates from Paine Field.

“If there’s one place our guests told us again and again that they wanted to fly to from Seattle’s northern airport, it’s beautiful Hawaii. We’ve been eager to make it happen,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning for Alaska Airlines. “We’ve proudly served the Hawaiian Islands for more than 15 years. This new route adds Seattle/Everett to our list of West Coast gateways to Honolulu. We’ll be ready to say aloha to our guests on this new flight this fall.”

Seattle/Everett is a closer and more convenient airport when travelling to and from points north of Seattle. Alaska Airlines says that many of its customers prefer the smaller airport and the more easy to navigate the terminal’s location and lounge atmosphere. The airport recently welcomed its one-millionth passenger on a departing flight from Seattle/Everett.

“For those travelling between Honolulu and Washington State, flying into Seattle/Everett will be a terrific, less congested option and a great way to access the greater Seattle area,” said Daniel Chun, director of sales, community and public relations in Hawaii for Alaska Airlines. “With this new flight, we’ll fly a combined six nonstops a day to the two Seattle area airports from Oahu, providing our leisure and business travellers with a variety of flight times that work best for them.”

The route will be operated with the airline's Boeing 737 jets which have a three-class cabin configuration. First Class, Premium Class and Economy.  The aircraft have power outlets at every seat and are fitted with the ability to stream hundreds of free movies and TV shows to passengers' own devices. Despite the length of the flight, passengers will still have to buy their own refreshments or snacks.
