Alaska Airlines will add five nonstop routes from Seattle in 2027, including Guadalajara

Alaska Airlines will add five nonstop routes from its Seattle hub in 2027: daily, year-round service to four U.S. cities, and seasonal flights to Guadalajara, Mexico, the carrier announced Thursday. The additions expand Alaska's Seattle nonstop network to 119 destinations, which the airline called its largest Seattle summer launch yet.

Flights to Charlotte, N.C., and Norfolk, Va., begin June 10; service to Jacksonville, Fla., and Des Moines, Iowa, starts June 24. Alaska said the routes will give Jacksonville, Norfolk and Des Moines their first nonstop connection to Seattle, and Des Moines will be the airline's first destination in Iowa. Charlotte is a major hub for oneworld, the airline alliance Alaska belongs to.

Guadalajara, Mexico's second-largest city, will get flights three times weekly from March 18 through Aug. 9 on Boeing 737 aircraft. The Seattle departure leaves at 11:15 pm and lands at 5:11 am the next day, local time.

Tickets are on sale now.

In October, Alaska announced it plans its first nonstop flights between Anchorage and Tokyo starting May 13, pending government approval, along with new seasonal Anchorage service to Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and Nashville.
