Alaska Airlines will begin nonstop flights from Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport to Tokyo Narita International Airport on 13 May 2027. The service will operate daily during the summer season, connecting Alaska with Japan for the first time without a stopover.
The route will use Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, which have a range suitable for the transpacific journey. The airline has also announced plans to introduce three weekly winter flights starting in January 2028.
The new route aims to improve convenience for passengers traveling between the two destinations, eliminating the need for connecting flights through other U.S. airports.
The flights are subject to government approval and may be affected by operational decisions. Alaska Airlines initially offered promotional fares starting at US$999 for eligible bookings, but this offer is no longer available.
Actual ticket prices will depend on factors such as departure dates, seat availability, and fare conditions. Travellers should check the airline’s official booking channels for the most up-to-date information before making travel arrangements.
