Alaska Airlines’ global gateway in Seattle keeps adding destinations and is now selling tickets for nonstop flights to Rome. The daily, seasonal flights begin on April 28, 2026 and will be aboard state-of-the-art Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft. Intro fares start at $599.

Alaska expands its global reach with widebody flights connecting Seattle and Rome

After considering guest feedback, Alaska upped its Seattle to Rome flights from 4 times weekly to daily. Not only that, but Alaska is the only airline offering direct service to Rome. Passengers can look forward to an enjoyable journey via a “reimagined global travel experience” on modern 787-9 aircraft. Soon, the carrier will add another world-class destination, with its Seattle to London Heathrow, also taking flight next spring.

Curious travelers can explore the ancient expanses of Rome or the historic streets of London, without the hassle of connections or layovers. The two cities are among the most requested from Alaska’s Seattle hub, so the additions make sense. 

Andrew Harrison, Chief Commercial Officer for Alaska Airlines, said: “With our nonstop service from Seattle to Rome and London, we’re opening the door to two of the world’s most iconic regions with the style and care our guests expect from us. These new routes mark a tremendous step in our global expansion and reflect our commitment to delivering a premium international experience from Seattle. We’re elated to connect the Pacific Northwest to more of the world.”

Additionally, Atmos Rewards members tally significant points for visiting Rome and London. For every mile flown, they earn 1 point and 1 status point. Total points can be redeemed for hotels, flights, and more.

Cafe Charmant, The Corner Store Crew’s Latest, Puts Food Ahead of the Scene

I’ll be honest. If I weren’t a writer, there is no way in hell I could have landed a 7:15 Saturday night reservation at Cafe Charmant just a mere four weeks after its opening. The most recent jewel in the buzzy Catch Hospitality Group’s crown, the glitzy eatery is the newest IT restaurant to hit the downtown scene, so chalk it up to one of the perks of the job that I could walk in, order a drink, and be ushered to a corner table for two in under 10 minutes.

Though the state of making prime reservations in New York City may not come as a surprise to many, I’m still not able to reconcile with the current velvet rope of so many of this city’s restaurants. Sure, the 90s and early 2000’s had their Indochine, Moomba (if you remember that one, we need to grab a drink). The Waverly Inn, but for the most part, you could easily make a reservation or even walk in and wait for a table with a cocktail in hand at most popular establishments. And, let’s be honest, half the people weren’t even eating, if you know what I mean.

A tasting guide to Livermore Valley, California’s friendliest wine country
Adult, Male, Man

Livermore Valley sits in Northern California’s East Bay, where the hustle and bustle of neighboring Oakland and San Francisco give way to grassy rolling hills, big open skies, and over 40 tasting rooms. The region is home to some of the best wines I’ve tasted in the state, without the pretense and rigidity I’ve come to expect from other tasting rooms in the region.

And thanks to the valley’s marine-influenced winds, varied climate, and diverse soils, I tasted an unusually broad range of wines. Crisp whites, structured reds, and everything in between seem to be able to find their footing here.
