Alaska Airlines to Launch Nonstop Anchorage-Tokyo Narita Flights in 2027

Alaska Airlines will launch its first nonstop service between Anchorage and Tokyo Narita next spring, creating a convenient new connection between Alaska and the Asia-Pacific region.

The route will operate seasonally between Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport and Narita International Airport, running daily in the summer from May 13, 2027, through Sept. 7, 2027, and three times weekly in the winter beginning in January 2028.

Boeing 737 MAX 8 Serves Anchorage-Tokyo Narita Route

The Anchorage-Tokyo Narita flight will be operated on a Boeing 737 MAX 8. According to the airline, the MAX 8 has a longer range than the MAX 10 and is the only 737 in its fleet capable of serving this route. Round-trip fares for travel from Anchorage to Tokyo starting from May 13 through June 7, 2027, will be priced starting at $999 through Oct. 31, subject to availability.

First Class guests on the flight will receive priority boarding, recliner seats, elevated multi-course dining starting with Alaska’s Signature Charcuterie, and Filson-designed blankets, pillows, and travel amenity kits featuring Salt & Stone products.

Main Cabin and Premium Class guests will receive a complimentary meal including a hot entrée and dessert, with vegetarian options available, while Premium Class passengers also get a curated selection of complimentary West Coast beverages. Atmos Rewards members will also have access to free Wi-Fi via T-Mobile on select flights as Starlink Wi-Fi is installed across the MAX 8 fleet.

Alaska Airlines Adds Anchorage to Tokyo Narita Flights

New Tokyo Service Expands Anchorage Nonstop Network

The new Tokyo service anchors an expansion of the airline’s Anchorage network in 2027, which also includes new seasonal nonstop summer flights from Anchorage to Nashville, Austin, and Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) operating once per week on Saturdays from June 12 through Aug. 7. Together, these additions create the largest nonstop schedule from the state of Alaska in the airline’s history as it approaches its 95th year of service.

This long-requested route will open new opportunities for tourism and commerce, bringing our distinctive hospitality to more travelers and strengthen our growing global network, said Marilyn Romano, Regional Vice President Alaska Airlines.
