Alaska Airlines flights to Europe

Who knows? We fly them a lot domestically and they’re in the process of changing everything to “Atmos.” Not a fan of their new website or that every time I try to pull up my boarding pass lately on their app I have to be redirected to their website, thank goodness for Apple Wallet.

If you are thinking of using frequent flier miles, then I would wait and see the what the flight is offered at. BA is usually expensive with their fees. Fares may be comparable with cash….

Alaska will have the advantage of being a nonstop to Rome.

Alaska has leased a slot pair at Heathrow from American effective 22nd May 2026, which will allow one daily flight to / from Seattle. Not yet available for purchase.

Alaska will be flying to Iceland as well, seasonally. A week or so ago, I booked tickets for August with Alaska points and it was actually fewer points that it took 2 years ago. At that time we booked through Alaska since they are partners with Iceland Air, and that trip was 70k points. This trip was 62.5k points. I fully expected the points cost to be higher, but needless to say we were thrilled!

Rome to Seattle in May, 30,000 miles.

Carol--Right now, Alaska is showing the lowest mileage for that route to be 65k round trip. From Seattle r/t the lowest miles are 70k. I hope you booked that 30k deal!

Liz, I did book the 30,000 mile deal. Looking forward to the non-stop.

I just checked first few days in May and the lowest I found was 77.5k miles round trip. To pay cash it was $2,041 nonstop in economy…whoa! Obviously, Alaska’s deals didn’t last long …..

margie--Yes, they sure did go fast!
