Alaska Airlines Adding New Nonstop Service Between Seattle and Honolulu

Alaska Airlines has revealed plans for new nonstop service between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu starting this fall.

The new flights will connect Paine Field-Snohomish County Airport and the Hawaiian Islands, with daily, year-round service beginning just ahead of the holidays on November 17.

The carrier is celebrating the news with introductory fares between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu starting at $149 one-way. Additionally, Mileage Plan award redemptions are available for as low as 12,500 miles one-way.

“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,” Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning for Alaska Airlines, said in a statement. “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.”

Located north of Seattle, Paine Field can be a more convenient airport for many travelers in the region.

“For those traveling 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 travelers with a variety of flight times that work best for them.”

With the new service launching this fall, Alaska will fly from eight West Coast gateways to Hawaii, including Anchorage, Seattle/Everett, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego.
