Alaska Airlines unveils international business class with lie-flat suites Alaska Airlines has introduced a new international business class experience aimed at premium travelers, expanding its global reach into Europe and Asia. The airline unveiled its all-new service on Tuesday, set to debut this spring on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners. The offering includes lie-flat suites, elevated dining, premium bedding, and curated amenities, according to the company. The core of the new service features fully lie-flat suites with privacy doors and direct aisle access. Each seat transforms into a bed, equipped with an 18-inch high-definition screen, wireless charging, noise-reducing headphones, and access to a library of over 1,500 movies and shows. The airline emphasized its onboard dining experience, with menus tailored to specific routes. For example, flights to Rome will feature pasta carbonara with roasted chicken, while routes to Incheon will offer gochujang chicken. The dining experience begins with an upgraded fruit and cheese platter, accompanied by a selection of wines, champagne, cocktails, and craft beer. Dessert includes Salt & Straw ice cream, and pre-arrival meals are customized to each destination. Additional amenities include bedding designed in partnership with Pacific Northwest brand Filson and amenity kits stocked with skincare products and travel essentials. Passengers in international business class will have access to Alaska’s airport lounges and Oneworld partner lounges worldwide. Top-tier loyalty members will also gain entry to select international first-class lounges. The airline plans to equip its Dreamliner fleet with SpaceX’s Starlink internet later this year. The rollout coincides with Alaska’s expansion of its international footprint from Seattle.#tokyo #seoul #rome #alaska_airlines #boeing_787_9_dreamliners
