    Want to eat in Terminal D? Do you have 2 hours to wait + eat + get check at one of the two restaurant/bars? If not, I hope you enjoy prepackaged sandwiches.

    Curb airport snack attack without all the calories by picking up a bag of Erin's popcorn at one of the Hudson News stores. Yum.

    I wish they have departure/arrival boards at the check-point exit. My boarding pass for some reason didn’t have a gate #. I had to walk a long ways to find one.

    The Clear TSA Pre-check line is ridiculous. Likely quicker to use the regular pre-check line.

    The A Gates are very nice. The mini mall between B and C gates is as well. Security lines are very long and seem to be understaffed.

    If you are flying out of SEA on the same day that cruise ships are changing over and you don't have TSA pre check or Priority Access from an airline, add at least 60 minutes for the TSA line alone.

    For views of The Space Needle, pick window seats on the right side of the plane if you're flying in from the south.

    Security lines can be *super* long here when the airport is quiet, because of all of the Clear lanes — leave an extra 15 minutes to be safe.

    What you eat at Microsoft stays with ... TSA. Enjoy the chilli and the gingerale. Those are definitely dangerous items ... for my health. Have at it.

    Stock up on food before you come because this is a pricey airport. Unfortunately, you can't bring drinks through security, but bring a water bottle. A 20oz bottle of water is +$4 each.

    Beecher's in the C concourse is a must visit. Clean bathrooms and frequent trains between concourses.

    Some restaurants and vendors allow us to use Canadian funds at a pretty good exchange rate. eg: Wolfgang Puck

    When moving from S-gates to B-gates, for B1 and B3 only it's quicker to walk from the A-gates stop on the train.

    TSA and CLEAR closes around 9:45pm, so plan to go through regular TSA screening if you’re catching the red eye.

    Breakfast tacos at Anthonys. Go right through to the bar and have a seat facing the planes. Great view!

    Free wi-fi at this airport makes time go by a bit more quickly! Catch the Central Link Light Rail to/from downtown Seattle. Only $2.75 each way!

    Flight delayed? Get a mani, pedi or massage at butter (near gate 7) or get some polish in one of their great colors.

    Ladies - whenever I bother to dress cute and put on makeup the security guys usher me to the VIP security check point and I don't have to stand in line. Try it!

    Starbuck's opens at 4am. And pumpkin spice lattes/pumpkin cream cheese muffins are back early this year! That makes a 5am flight infinitely better.

    After dealing with DFW Airport for a decade I really appreciate the simplistic design of Seatac. Only one simple terminal! While the after check in area still have the feel of a large airport.

    Beautiful airport, but being here was a tedious experience. It seems that you have to take a lot of shuttles to get anywhere. Especially if you're renting a car. Worst than ATL airport.

    You better leave from your hotel or home early....parking is disconnected, rental car center is far away, and terminal for Delta...darn near needed a helicopter to get there.
