Starting today, tickets to Athens International Airport (ATH) and Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) are available at alaskaair.com.
The seasonal service to Athens will become the longest route Alaska has ever flown. When the new route launches, it will also become the West Coast’s only non-stop Athens flight, making it easier than ever for travelers across the region to access Greece and beyond.
Alaska’s new service to Athens, flight AS196, pays homage to Greece’s capital as the birthplace of the modern Olympic Games in 1896. New service to Paris, flight AS136, is a nod to the city’s renowned cultural scene, home to 136 museums.
Flights to Athens and Paris will be operated with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Guests seated in international Business Class lie-flat Suites can enjoy multi-course dining curated by Alaska’s award-winning food and beverage team and premium travel amenities in every cabin from West Coast-based brands Filson and Salt & Stone. Atmos Rewards members will also enjoy complimentary ultra-fast Starlink Wi‑Fi, thanks to T‑Mobile, as installation continues to roll out across the Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines fleet through 2027.
These new routes join Alaska’s growing intercontinental lineup from Seattle, which now includes non-stop service to Iceland, London, Rome, Seoul and Tokyo, with plans to add at least 5 more intercontinental destinations by 2030 and additional Dreamliners.
