SEATTLE, Nov. 17, 2023 ~ Today, Alaska Airlines welcomed guests seeking warm temperatures and sunny skies on their new nonstop flights between Seattle/Everett–Honolulu and Portland–Miami. The daily, year-round flights are available for purchase at alaskaair.com.

Kirsten Amrine, Alaska's vice president of revenue management and network planning, said "Travel demand to leisure destinations to relax and recharge remains strong, especially to sun and fun locations as cooler weather settles in." She added that the new nonstop between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu is the first regularly scheduled service connecting Paine Field to Hawaii. The coast-to-coast route between Portland and Miami links two destinations that were the largest underserved cities for each airport.

For those traveling between Honolulu and Washington State, flying into Seattle/Everett can be a less congested option to access the greater Seattle area according to Daniel Chun, Alaska's regional vice president for Hawaii. With this new flight, they will fly a combined six nonstops a day to the two Seattle area airports from Oahu, providing leisure and business travelers with a variety of flight times that work best for them.
