Alaska Airlines is expanding its Seattle hub in 2027 by launching five new nonstop routes, including a seasonal service to Guadalajara, Mexico, and four new domestic destinations across the United States, Infotur Latam reported.
This expansion pushes the carrier’s Emerald City network to 119 nonstop destinations, offering travelers more options to travel without connections. The carrier aims to give Pacific Northwest travelers deeper direct connectivity across North America.
New Nonstop Flights to Guadalajara
Travelers from Seattle will gain direct access to Guadalajara starting next spring. The seasonal route runs three times a week using Boeing 737 aircraft.
Operations begin on March 18, 2027, and continue through August 9, 2027.
Expanding Domestic Hub Connections
Four new domestic destinations join the Seattle schedule next summer. Daily year-round flights to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Norfolk, Virginia, launch on June 10, 2027.
Charlotte provides an important link to a major oneworld alliance hub in one of the fastest-growing cities in the Southeast.
Service to Jacksonville, Florida, and Des Moines, Iowa, begins two weeks later on June 24, 2027. The Des Moines route marks Alaska Airlines’ first-ever scheduled service to Iowa, while Jacksonville creates a new direct connection to the northeastern coast of Florida.

Passengers flying on these new domestic and international routes in first class receive chef-prepared meals.
Travelers in first class, Premium class, and the main cabin can also pre-order fresh chef-prepared meals via the carrier’s mobile application up to 14 days before departure. Passengers can also enjoy a variety of beverages on board, including soft drinks, beer, wine, and premium spirits. The airline operates these additions as part of its largest summer network rollout from Seattle to date.
