'Aloha' to first Honolulu flight from Paine Field
EVERETT — For the first time, an Alaska Airlines flight to Honolulu left Seattle Paine Field International Airport on Friday morning.
The fully booked flight on the Boeing 737-9 MAX became the longest flight offered from Paine Field, a trip more than 2,500 miles, estimated to take 6 hours and 15 minutes.
The Everett airport will offer daily nonstop flights to Daniel K. Inouye International Airport on the island of Oahu, said Brett Catlin, vice president of network and alliances at Alaska Air Group.
The new service opens just in time for the holiday season. The forecast in Honolulu this week, by the way, is mostly sunny with a high in the low 80s.
