Pictures: Northern Pacific Airways unveils first aircraft with its slick corporate livery
ANCHORAGE, ALASKA — Alaska's low-cost startup Northern Pacific Airways unveiled its first aircraft with the airline's slick livery. The airline will soon launch revenue flights between Asia and the US via Anchorage. Northern's Boeing 757 jet features a dark color palette of greys and blacks, with hints of blue and green on the winglets that represent the northern lights.

I've flown transcontinental (SEA-ATL) on a 75 and it was grueling. Can't imagine trans-Pacific. Ugh.
The livery is... interesting.
The livery is... interesting.
I've flown on Icelandair 757s from Seattle to Europe a couple of times and it was fine. The aircraft are only configured for 179 seats vs the 199 Delta uses on their domestic 757s so you didn't feel squeezed in. It was also nice to have a break in the middle for 45 minutes to an hour rather than flying the whole 9.5 hours without being able to get up and stretch. In at least one case I saved a bunch of time flying SEA-KEF-ARN-LED in 13.5 hours including connection time vs the 16.5 hours it would have taken on a more "normal" SEA-AMS-LED route.
Flying on trans-Pacific flights on a triple 7 or 74 is bad enough. Can't imagine it in a 75.
