Delta Air Lines celebrated new nonstop service from Seattle to Seoul on June 2 with a gatehouse inaugural ceremony. The flight marked Delta’s fourth nonstop international route added from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport in a year, including London-Heathrow, Shanghai-Pudong and Tokyo-Haneda.

“Delta’s Seoul service is another key addition in our rapidly expanding international portfolio for corporate and leisure customers,” said Mike Medeiros, Delta’s vice president – Seattle.

“The Seattle market is geographically positioned to optimally connect traffic to all of our Asia destinations, which are the leading commercial centers in the region.

”

Last week Delta announced service from Seattle to several popular ski and beach destinations for this fall and on June 16 will celebrate a new international flight with nonstop service to Hong Kong.

In addition to the recently added international service, Delta also currently operates nonstop flights from Seattle to Amsterdam, Beijing, Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Tokyo-Narita.

By this summer, Delta will offer more international service from Seattle than all other carriers combined with more than 2,500 daily long-haul international seats as part of the market’s 86 peak-day departures to 26 destinations.

The Seoul flight will operate using a 210-seat Boeing 767-300ER aircraft with 35 full-flat bed seats in BusinessElite, 32 seats in Economy Comfort and 143 Economy class seats.

In February, Delta launched a double miles promotion for Seattle-based SkyMiles members.

Customers who book and fly Delta or Delta Connection-marketed and -operated flights from Seattle by December 31, 2014, will be awarded double miles and double Medallion Qualification Miles on the nonstop segment departing from or arriving into Seattle.
