Emirates, a global connector of people, places and economies, announced its second daily service from Dubai International Airport (DXB) to Seattle–Tacoma International Airport (SEA).
The new service, EK227, which began on July 7 and is operated by a Boeing 777-200LR, will depart Dubai at 3:15 a.m. and arrives in Seattle at 6:55 a.m.
The return flight, EK228, departs Seattle at 9:40 a.m. and arrives in Dubai at 10:55 a.m. the following day. The new service will supplement the current EK 230 Boeing 777-300ER flight departing Seattle at 5:40 p.m. and landing in Dubai the following day at 6:55 p.m.
“This new service will provide passengers with the convenience of both a morning and evening departure from both Dubai as well as Seattle,” said Hubert Frach, Emirates divisional senior vice president, commercial operations, West.
“This second daily service will provide our passengers in the Seattle area even more choices when flying with Emirates and satisfy their demand for more flights from this gateway. Corporate travelers will also appreciate the ease of conducting business as a result of the improved connectivity between Seattle and a number of international destinations.
So when corporate travelers are headed to an Emirates’ destination in the Middle East, Africa, or the Far East or when they require one of Emirates’ frequent daily connections to Hyderabad, Mumbai, or Delhi, the global business community will now seem much more closer to Seattle.”
Passengers coming from Dubai and beyond can connect to other US cities through Emirates’ partner agreement with Alaska Airlines (AS). Members of Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plan and Emirates' Skywards programs have been able to earn and redeem miles for travel on either carrier since March 2012.
These flights offer connectivity to points across the United States such as Portland, Anchorage, Honolulu, Billings, and Boise as well as into Canada including cities such as Vancouver, Edmonton, Victoria, and Calgary.
