Alaska Airlines International Business Class Suites will elevate the long-haul experience, debuting from late April 2026 and coinciding with the carrier’s international network expansion from Seattle into Europe, including new routes to Italy, Iceland and the UK.
The new Alaska Airlines International Business Class Suites will change up the long-haul, gate-to-gate experience with private lie-flat suites and premium dining and lounge access (including oneworld partners) and mark the airline’s entry as a global carrier.
International Business Class Suites will be available on the US carrier’s brand-new Boeing B787-9 Dreamliners.
Suites will feature privacy doors, direct aisle access and lounge-style seating that converts to a fully lie-flat bed, alongside an 18-inch HD screen, noise-reducing headsets, personal power outlets and wireless charging.
Starlink Wi-Fi is scheduled to be added across Alaska Airlines’ Dreamliners in the Northern Hemisphere fall, complementing other aircraft in the fleet.
Iconic Pacific Northwest brand Filson will provide the collectible premium amenity kits with Salt & Stone skincare and a custom reusable water bottle.
Service highlights include multi-course dining reflecting West Coast flavours and popular brands, such as Stumptown coffee, Salt & Straw ice-cream and local craft beer, as well as a welcome cheese and charcuterie board and expanded beverage selection.
Before touchdown, passengers will also enjoy a pre-arrival drink paired with a destination-inspired meal, such as a full English breakfast on London flights.
Alaska Airlines International Business Class will debut on new direct services, including the Seattle-Rome route from 28 April, followed by Seattle-London on 21 May 2026.
The new Seattle-Reykjavík route starts on 28 May 2026 and will feature an upgraded premium experience on 737 MAX aircraft.
International Business Class will also be offered on select Alaska Airlines services to Asia, including Seattle to Seoul from April and Tokyo by the Northern Hemisphere fall.
Alaska Airlines CCO Andrew Harrison said: “We set out to design a Business Class experience that is both sophisticated and authentically Alaska: premium, comfortable and thoughtfully created for our guests.”
“When we debut our new product this spring, it will raise the bar and redefine long-haul travel, while continuing to deliver the remarkable care that sets Alaska apart on the global stage.”
