Beginning Sept. 12, 2025, the new connection will join an expanding roster of international routes that already includes nonstop flights to Seoul Incheon, launched on the same date, and a total of 104 destinations across North America. Seattle offers the shortest trans-Pacific crossing at 4,730 miles to Tokyo, which is 7 percent closer than the San Francisco–Tokyo sector and 13 percent shorter than the Los Angeles–Tokyo.
“Our growing fleet of widebody aircraft, which includes the flagship 787 Dreamliner, unleashes a world of possibilities of where we can fly to from Seattle. Looking ahead, we’ll have exciting additional milestones as we share the new international routes we’ll be launching in the coming years, including destinations in Europe, as part of our plans to serve at least 12 international destinations with widebody aircraft from Seattle by 2030,” said
