Alaska Airlines will operate the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on its Seattle-to-Maui route during two peak holiday windows in late November and mid-December through early January 2026. The larger aircraft increases seat capacity on one of Maui’s key mainland corridors during the highest-demand travel period of the year.
- Alaska Airlines will deploy the widebody Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on the Seattle (SEA) to Kahului (OGG) route during November 21–30 and December 17–January 4.
- The aircraft upgrade adds meaningful seat capacity on a high-demand mainland corridor serving the peak winter visitor season.
- Daily round-trip service gives travelers from other U.S. cities a connecting option through Seattle to access the upgraded flights.
- The 12:15 PM OGG arrival is timed to get guests to Wailea and Kaanapali resorts before evening, which may ease check-in pressure at properties.
- Rental car and ground transportation demand at OGG is expected to spike during the December 17–January 4 window, which could affect guest arrival logistics.
