Alaska Airlines Opens Ticket Sales for New Rome Flights

By Newsdesk Nov 14, 2025 11:30am

Alaska Airlines will offer daily, seasonal summer service between Seattle and Leonardo da Vinci Fiumicino International Airport in Rome beginning April 28, 2026. Tickets are on sale now.

Due to strong guest response, the airline increased the Seattle–Rome flight frequency from four times a week to daily. Guests can enjoy a reimagined global travel experience on the widebody, long-haul 787 Dreamliner aircraft.

“With our nonstop service from Seattle to Rome and London, we’re opening the door to two of the world’s most iconic regions with the style and care our guests expect from us,” said Andrew Harrison, chief commercial officer at Alaska Airlines. “These new routes mark a tremendous step in our global expansion and reflect our commitment to delivering a premium international experience from Seattle. We’re elated to connect the Pacific Northwest to more of the world.”

With Atmos Rewards, trips to Rome and London will earn big points: one point and one status point per mile flown. Points can be redeemed for flights, hotels and more, and status points track progress toward status levels and milestones. Later in 2026, members can choose how they earn based on distance traveled, price paid or segments flown—whichever works best for them. Plus, Atmos Titanium status holders will receive complimentary lie-flat upgrades on intercontinental routes on the day of departure, beginning in spring 2026, subject to availability.

Seattle as a home base for the Dreamliner

The airline is establishing a 787 hub in Seattle, deploying up to 17 Dreamliners across its global network. In addition to serving Rome and London from Seattle next spring, the airline has deployed the Dreamliner on the Seoul Incheon route. The aircraft will begin serving Seattle–Tokyo Narita in 2026, a route that has been flown with the A330 since May. It will also begin service to Reykjavik, Iceland, on May 28, 2026, with a 737 MAX 8 aircraft.

Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite Card

The new Atmos Rewards Summit Visa Infinite card is designed for the global traveler. Cardholders earn three points for every $1 spent on all eligible foreign purchases, and that’s in addition to earning three points for every $1 spent on eligible Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines purchases. Plus, earn one status point for every $2 spent on eligible purchases, making the card the fastest path to earning status. A key benefit: A 25,000-point Global Companion Award that’s earned after qualifying purchases on a new account and annually after each card anniversary—cardholders can redeem it for up to 25,000 points off a companion award ticket.

The airline will soon begin ticket sales for its new daily, year-round service between Seattle and London’s Heathrow, which also starts flying next spring.
