From Aer Lingus to JAL, Seattle's been getting a lot of long-haul love recently — and the international-carrier announcements keep rolling in.

Come Sept. 3, 2019, Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) will become Singapore Airlines' sixth US airport, joining nonstop service between Changi Airport (SIN) and Los Angeles (LAX), Newark (EWR) and San Francisco (SFO), in addition to one-stop flights from Houston (IAH) and New York-JFK.

Initially, the airline will fly to SEA every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, with a Sunday flight joining the lineup in October 2019. Round-trip flights will operate with the following schedule:

  • SQ27 Seattle (SEA) 10:40am Departure ⇒ Singapore (SIN) 5:30pm (+1) Arrival
  • SQ28 Singapore (SIN) 9:25am Departure ⇒ Seattle (SEA) 9:05am Arrival

The morning Seattle arrival is ideal for connecting flights on Singapore's regional codeshare partner, Alaska Airlines.

Singapore's new Seattle service will be operated by the airline's Airbus A350-900, offering 42 business-class seats, 24 in premium economy and 187 in coach — a far more dense (and shorter-range) version of the A350-900ULR operating the world's longest flight, from Newark to Singapore, along with SQ's Los Angeles service and select flights to SFO.

Singapore will offer a total of 57 weekly flights to the US once this latest route kicks into high gear next October. Tickets are expected to go on sale beginning Nov. 7, 2018.
