The Seattle–Rome leg is typically flown on an Airbus A330-900neo (Delta) or Boeing 787-9 (Alaska), while the short Spokane–Seattle hop takes about 75 to 85 minutes on an Embraer 175 or Boeing 737.", "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI).
