This is part of a much larger set of announcements made on investor day today. Here are some of the highlights:
- A330 and 787 new interiors
- 25 of the 168 MAX 10s on order will be in the global livery and will feature Aurora lie-flat suites and the new premium economy seat
- the aforementioned new prem ec seat: called ‘premium reserve’, it is Alaska’s first premium ec seat, and is an improvement on the current domestic business class.
- all of these new premium seats are very competitive internationally, which is exciting.
- Major new lounges in SEA and HNL
- induction into the Oneworld TPAC and TATL JVs (this is HUGE for AS’s competitive viability on intercontinental routes.)

Looks like I looked at the ad wrong haha, I thought the bit at the end of the video showing the routes from different airports was going to Europe, but turns out I’m blind, its just the east coast. Feel a bit dumb after this one

All good! They have been hinting at PDX getting 787 routes in future, and the 787 mx base being built there might further hint that way.

Yeah, I’ve heard about that, too. One can hope 
The Market is there for it though, especially to Asia. Back in the 90s when PDX was delta’s west coast hub, there were very popular flights from PDX to ICN, HND, FUK, BKK, TPE, and even NGO. It would not surprise me if we saw a PDX-ICN and/or a PDX-HND on the 787s.
