Seattle–Anchorage Flights
At about 1,450 miles from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) to Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC), a nonstop runs roughly 3h25, give or take with the winds. Alaska Airlines and Delta both carry nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 737-900 and Airbus A220-300 both appear on those nonstop award segments. About 52% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so a direct award is a realistic target.
Best Ways to Book With Points & Miles
Seattle–Anchorage is a domestic route, so the first question is whether to spend points at all. Here the lowest economy price is also the quickest trip: an Alaska Airlines nonstop booked through the airline's own program. Expect about $6 in taxes and fees on top, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. When the fare is low, pay cash and hold the points for a pricier trip. Before moving bank points anywhere, confirm the seat is bookable, since transfers are one-way.
Best Points & Miles Programs
Alaska Atmos Rewards wins economy at 12,500 points and first class at 37,500, both on Alaska Airlines nonstops. Virgin Atlantic Flying Club is the only other program pricing the route. Even with Alaska Atmos Rewards on top, a last cross-check before transferring is cheap insurance.
Airlines & Routing Options
Two airlines show nonstop award space on Seattle–Anchorage: Alaska Airlines (oneworld) and Delta (SkyTeam). Partner programs in both alliances can price a nonstop here, not just the carriers' own. Every cabin's cheapest award prices through the airline's own program at last check, so start there before pricing partners. With just four airlines holding award seats here, a route alert catches new space faster than rechecking each carrier.
Route Information

Alternative Airports & Routes
