Alaska Airlines plans to launch nonstop service between Seattle and Charlotte in 2027, creating a new direct travel option between the Pacific Northwest and the Carolinas.
The Charlotte route is one of five new destinations the airline plans to serve from Seattle as part of its largest summer route expansion from the hub to date. The addition will give Charlotte travelers another connection to the West Coast while providing Pacific Northwest residents with easier access to the Carolinas.
Alaska Airlines’ expanded network will include 119 nonstop destinations from Seattle.
Passengers traveling on the new routes will have several seating options, including Main Cabin, extra-legroom Premium Class and First Class.
First Class passengers will receive complimentary chef-curated meals. Travelers in all three cabin classes can also pre-order fresh meals through the Alaska Airlines app up to 14 days before departure. Onboard beverage options will include soft drinks, beer, wine and premium spirits.
The new Charlotte service will provide travelers with another nonstop option between the Carolinas and the West Coast.
