Thread: Easy Destinations for short trip from SEA

Head north! You are in an Alaska hub city so you can get pretty much anywhere we fly so I say head up to Alaska. You won't find a fantastic public transportation system but you will find fantastic scenery. Check out Juneau or Ketchikan to start. Once you get started, you'll be hooked!

Time changes are funny - that KEF-SEA flight leaves at 1700, arrives at 1745 same day (both times are local, of course). Personally, I'm just amazed that a narrowbody (even a larger one like a 757) can make it KEF-DEN/SEA nonstop. I guess it's only a few hundred miles more (3,349 vs 3,617) than DEN-HNL, which I can believe a little more easily, but still... strange.

It leaves Seatac at like 2:45PM and gets into Iceland at 6:45am, then on the way back you get into Seatac at like 7pm. I did it in 2 days. I wouldn't go during summer as that's busy season, but definitely give it a try this winter. The paper tickets on Icelandair are kind of annoying though.

Ha strangely enough that would work. I get off at 3:30 (too bad I didn't take the early shift because then I could've made all of the international flights on Delta...now my only options on DL metal for a weekend getaway int'l are Beijing, Tokyo, and Amsterdam which is full most of the time).

Good call on Alaska too. I just realized the delta anchorage flight stops in 2 weeks. Saw first is wide open going and fairly open back so ill hop on tomorrow go whitewater rafting Saturday then get on the redeye back in time for my shift Sunday.
