Alaska Airlines today, for the first time ever, will fly nonstop service between Seattle (SEA) and Rome (FCO).
Alaska will fly the service daily starting today through Oct. 23, 2026, on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft, which include its business class suites, all of which have lie-flat suites. The flight departs Seattle at 5:30 p.m. and arrives in Rome at 1:15 p.m. each day.
“Launching our first flight to Europe is a significant step in executing our long-term growth strategy,” said Ben Minicucci, CEO of Alaska Air Group. “Service to Rome expands how we connect our guests to the world, strengthens Seattle’s role as a global gateway, and is made possible by our people who deliver safety, care, and performance with every flight. Andiamo!”
The news comes just as Alaska fully integrated Hawaiian Airlines into its passenger service system, giving those flying from Rome to Seattle options to continue on to Hawaii via that airline.
