Alaska Airlines adds Charlotte, Norfolk, Jacksonville, Des Moines and Guadalajara to Seattle network in 2027

Alaska Airlines will launch five new nonstop routes from Seattle in 2027, four to new domestic destinations and one seasonal service to Guadalajara in Mexico, the airline announced on 12 November 2026. Tickets are already on sale.

Daily year-round flights to Charlotte and Norfolk begin on 10 June 2027, followed by daily year-round services to Jacksonville and Des Moines from 24 June 2027. The airline says Jacksonville, Norfolk and Des Moines will be the first nonstop connections ever between those cities and Seattle. The Guadalajara route, flown with Boeing 737 aircraft, operates three times a week from 18 March 2027 (19 March in the opposite direction) until 9 August 2027, with a late-evening departure from Seattle arriving in Guadalajara early the next morning.

Alaska says the additions take Seattle's nonstop network to 119 destinations and describes the summer launches as its biggest yet in the city. The Guadalajara service adds a direct link between the Pacific Northwest and western Mexico, while the four domestic routes connect East Coast and Midwest cities directly to the airline's main hub.

The airline has not said on which days of the week the Guadalajara flights operate, and the aircraft type for the domestic routes is not stated in the announcement. Schedules for new routes can change before launch, so travellers should confirm times when booking.
