A Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, now in Alaska Airlines livery but retaining its original Hawaiian Airlines interior, is scheduled to operate daily Seattle–Kahului roundtrips during Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday windows. The aircraft assignments cover November 20–30 and December 17–January 4, subject to change.
- One daily Seattle-Kahului flight will be operated by the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner during peak holiday travel periods this winter.
- The Dreamliner now flies under Alaska Airlines branding following the Hawaiian-Alaska merger, but the interior cabin design remains largely unchanged.
- Holiday service windows are November 20–30 and December 17–January 4, offering elevated capacity on a key mainland-to-Maui route.
- The 787’s economy section uses a 3-3-3 seating layout, a change from the Airbus A330’s 2-4-2 configuration that some travelers have found less comfortable.
- Alaska has signaled future interior updates to the fleet, including a premium economy cabin, but those changes have not yet been implemented.
