Alaska Airlines will launch its first nonstop flights between Anchorage, Alaska (ANC), and Tokyo Narita (NRT) in spring 2027, giving travelers a new way to connect Alaska with Japan and the broader Asia-Pacific region.
The seasonal service will open new opportunities for travel advisors selling Alaska vacations, Japan itineraries and trips combining both destinations. For travelers visiting Alaska, Anchorage also serves as a gateway to outdoor experiences, including Denali National Park and the Northern Lights.
The route will be operated on a Boeing 737 MAX 8, subject to government approval.
Introductory Fares and Booking Details
Alaska Airlines is offering introductory round-trip fares starting at $999 for travel from Anchorage to Tokyo Narita between May 13 and June 7, 2027. The offer is available through Oct. 31, 2026, subject to availability. A round-trip purchase is required, and additional terms and conditions apply.
“Alaska Airlines has connected Alaskans to the people and places that matter since 1932, and we’re thrilled to connect Alaska and Japan,” said Marilyn Romano, Regional VP of Alaska Airlines, in a press statement. “This long-requested route will open new opportunities for tourism and commerce, bringing our distinctive hospitality to more travelers and strengthen our growing global network.”
