Alaska Airlines is celebrating more aloha with new nonstop service between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu starting this fall – the first flight connecting Paine Field-Snohomish County Airport and the Hawaiian Islands. The daily, year-round flight begins on November 17, just in time for travel during the holiday season. 

For a limited time, introductory fares between Seattle/Everett and Honolulu start at $149 one-way along with Mileage Plan award redemptions as low as 12,500 miles one-way. Tickets are available for purchase now at alaskaair.com. This is Alaska's first new route to Honolulu in more than a decade and it will be the longest flight Alaska Airlines will operate from Paine Field.

Seattle/Everett is a closer, more convenient airport when traveling to and from points north of Seattle. Alaska Airlines launched their regularly scheduled service there in March 2019 when the new facility opened. Many of Alaska Airlines' guests enjoy the smaller terminal’s location and upscale lounge atmosphere instead of spending time and money driving to Seattle’s main airport. The airport recently welcomed its one-millionth passenger on a departing flight from Seattle/Everett.

The initial seven weeks of the flight schedule for the Thanksgiving and winter holidays varies from the winter schedule that starts on Jan. 8, 2024:

Thanksgiving-Winter Holiday 2023 Schedule

All times local

Early Winter 2024 Schedule

All times local

With this new service in the fall, the airline will fly from eight West Coast gateways to Hawaii.

Alaska Airlines currently flies to the Islands from Anchorage, Seattle/Everett, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego. Alaska Airlines serves Oahu, Maui, Kauai and the Island of Hawaii from these airports with an average of 30 nonstop, peak-daily flights.

Alaska Airlines flies to nine destinations from Seattle/Everett.

Most of Alaska Airlines' flights serving Seattle/Everett are on the E175 regional jets flown by Alaska's sister carrier Horizon Air. Alaska Airlines flies from Paine Field to Anchorage, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orange County, Palm Springs (seasonal), Phoenix, San Diego, San Francisco and Tucson (seasonal). In February 2022, the airline started mainline service on select flights to Las Vegas and Phoenix on the 737 aircraft.  

With the award-winning service, Alaska Airlines offers onboard amenities for a terrific trip to the Islands. Alaska Airlines' 737s have a three-class cabin including First Class and Premium Class. With power outlets at every seat, you can enjoy hundreds of free movies and TV shows that can be streamed inflight to your own devices. Alaska Airlines' flights are also enabled with streaming-fast satellite Wi-Fi available for purchase, as well as the option to pre-order from a range of fresh meal selections. 

Alaska marked 15 years of flying to Hawaii this past fall. The airline launched their first flight between Seattle and Honolulu on Oct. 12, 2007. Service between Seattle and Lihue, Kauai, started two weeks later, followed by Anchorage-Honolulu service in December 2007. In 2008, Alaska began serving Kona on the Island of Hawaii and Kahului on Maui.
