Alaska is rolling out a new business-class experience as it expands further into Europe and Asia. Here's what to expect.

Alaska Airlines is upgrading its Boeing 787 business class to enhance its competitive edge against American, Delta, and United. The new suite-style cabins will feature lie-flat beds, privacy doors, and high-end meals. The airline aims to establish a unique Alaska identity following its merger with Hawaiian Airlines. The upgraded experience includes more entree options, improved linens, and a dessert cart. Alaska's 787 service will operate long-haul routes, including Seattle to Tokyo and Seoul, with future plans for London and Rome.

"We set out to design a Business Class experience that is both sophisticated and authentically Alaska: premium, comfortable and thoughtfully created for our guests."

"Alaska's high-dollar 787 seat, Elevate Ascent, will feature its usual amenities: lie-flat beds, 18-inch seatback screens, high-end meals, and privacy doors."

"The overall 787 experience will be a step up from business class on its Airbus A330 aircraft, which lack the suite-style seats and new amenities."
