Top 5 things you need to know about Alaska Air’s new nonstop flights to Tokyo
* The airline is launching daily nonstop service from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Tokyo Narita (NRT) starting in May 2025, marking a major expansion into Asia.
* This is Alaska Air’s first-ever long-haul international route that doesn't connect through a partner hub, meaning customers can fly directly from the West Coast without switching airlines.
* Fares start at an incredibly competitive price point, with round-trip flights as low as $500 during promotional periods, undercutting many legacy carriers on the same route.
* The flights will be operated using Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, typically known for higher passenger comfort, including larger windows and improved cabin pressure to reduce jet lag.
* To celebrate the launch, Alaska Air is offering a limited-time bonus of 5,000 bonus miles for customers who book their Tokyo trip within the first week of sales.
