Alaska Airlines formally transitioned into a long-haul international competitor this week, launching nonstop service from Seattle to London Heathrow, Rome, and Reykjavík.

ABC News reports that the sinkhole was detected at 11 a.m. near the intersection of the airport's two primary runways.

These flights include complimentary hot meals and West Coast-sourced beverages like Cloud Cruiser IPA, a departure from the "buy-on-board" model that has dominated domestic travel for a decade.
