Alaska Airlines has started a new nonstop service between Seattle and Seoul Incheon on Hawaiian Airlines’ long-haul 787-9 aircraft. To celebrate our inaugural flight, it is offering limited-time deals for the next three days for travel through December 15: Guests can choose a Buy One, Get One (BOGO) offer when buying tickets or book an award redemption for as low as 20,000 points one-way.
For the BOGO offer, when flyers purchase one economy fare on the Seattle–Seoul Incheon route, they can buy their travel companion’s ticket for only the taxes and fees. If they’d rather use their Atmos Rewards points, they can take advantage of special promotional award redemptions that also offer tremendous value for only 20,000 points one-way in the main cabin, or 40,000 points roundtrip. Tickets must be purchased or award travel booked by Friday, September 12, at www.alaskaair.com for travel between September 12 and December 15, 2025.
For the BOGO offer, both travelers will earn Atmos Rewards points and status points on the tickets purchased. Atmos Rewards is the newly reimagined loyalty program for Alaska and Hawaiian. If travelers are flying on an award ticket that they booked with points (formally known as miles), they will earn one status point for every mile they fly. It’s about 5,200 miles from Seattle to Seoul one-way, so they’d earn 5,200 status points. Points are used for various redemptions, and status points track progress toward reaching status and milestones.
The new transpacific route marks a significant milestone in Alaska’s transformation of our hometown hub in Seattle into the West Coast’s premier global gateway. The Seattle–Seoul Incheon flight will operate five times a week, linking families, friends and businesses in the Pacific Northwest to South Korea’s capital city.
“From dozens of destinations across our robust network, guests can connect through our global gateway in Seattle for convenient nonstop service to Seoul Incheon—an important business market and one of Asia’s most dynamic cities,” said Kirsten Amrine, vice president of revenue management and network planning at Alaska Airlines. “From Seoul, flyers can catch flights to additional Asian destinations with our global partners.”
This is the 787 Dreamliner’s first international route from Seattle for Alaska Air Group. The aircraft features 34 enclosed Business Class suites with lie-flat seats, privacy doors, 18-inch HD monitors and wireless charging. Next year, the airline will install Starlink Wi-Fi as well.
The new service between Seattle and Seoul Incheon begins just before the start of Chuseok, also known as Korean Thanksgiving Day—one of the nation’s most important and festive holidays. It takes place in early October this year. In addition to Dreamliner service between Seattle and Seoul-Incheon, the airline will begin flying the 787-9 on the existing Seattle–Tokyo Narita route starting on January 6, 2026, and on new flights from Seattle to London and Rome next spring.
