Seattle fliers heading to Japan will be able to catch a ride on a Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
All Nippon Airways, which started non-stop service to Seattle last month, will add 787s to the Sea-Tac route Oct. 1.
“This will be an exciting day to see one of our region’s iconic products – the 787- return to its home and directly serve travelers and businesses Boeing supports every day,” said Mark Reis, Managing Director of Sea-Tac Airport. “This reinforces Seattle’s status as a global gateway.”
The only place to fly a Dreamliner in the U.S. right now is out of Boston on Japan Airlines.
The flight departs Seattle daily at 1:15 p.m. arriving in Tokyo at 3:45 p.m. the next day. The return flight departs Tokyo at 5:25 p.m. and arrive in Seattle at 10:55 a.m.
If you like an aisle seat, ANA’s 787 might be your dream flight. The plane has 158 seats, 46 which are full flat business class that each have aisle access.
