Brad E.June 19, 2012One of the easiest airports to get in and out of. Stay at the Marriott nearby if leaving early in the morning.- Gayan De SilvaDecember 7, 2013TSA is very friendly here and there's a great kids play area near the A gates!
BoseSeptember 22, 2011World’s busiest route? Between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. (Good thing you can buy Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones in Brazil.)
Dewan TarekJanuary 25, 2013Ask your hotel if there are shuttles to the airport here since they're close by and complimentary
This is one of the top 5 worst airports in America. Outrageous security lines, outrageous taxi times, outrageous gate hold times… and the WORST terminal design I’ve seen outside of ATL.
Angela M.October 26, 2014If you're coming into customs, there are only 4 GOES kiosks (one of which was out of service) and like 20 kiosks for non-GOES people....?? What's the point? They got through faster than we did.
Use the water fountain in the Southwest terminal for bonus sound effects.
Waji in c gates has spam, egg and rice breakfast plate!
Once you've boarded an airplane, sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cup of water.
HannesMay 24, 2012Go to the Central Food Court Lounge and enjoy the view. Plus, they have rocking chairs :)
Security is easy if you're prepared. If it takes you more than a minute to get your stuff on the conveyor belt...BE FASTER OR ALLOW OTHERS TO GO IF THEY'RE READY
Fun fact: SeaTac airport is the largest airport in SeaTac.
Love approaching from the south on a clear day. Rainier, Adams, and St. Helens.
Yummy sandwiches at Beechers near gate C2. Also, really friendly service!
The free Wifi is insanely fast. I got 30 Mbps down and 50 Mbps up. This has to be a mistake by whoever manages the network but enjoy while it lasts.
- There are charging stations throughout the airport gates. #PortofSeattle #SeaTacAirport
New United gates are a walk, especially if you're TSA ore-approved. Nice United club.
Free wifi throughout airport. Use the link light rail to get into the city. The Westlake stop will put you downtown by Nordstrom department store.
There are definitely better airports out there. The southwest and international terminals are due for an upgrade
Jorge AndradeSeptember 15, 2011Don't forget to stop at the gift shop and get the coolest souvenir in town... the Seattle-invented Rain Globe...
Easy to navigate airport. The USO is before you check in through security, which is odd.
Park offsite. Onsite parking will bankrupt you. Lots of good options 5 minutes away.
It goes without saying but try the chowder (Anthony's or Ivars) and drop a beer with it too! Cheers
Pretty efficient airport and easy to get to by public transportation.
If your leaving in the morning have them drop you off at arrivals there’s no line
Terrible design for airport. Traffic in and out is jammed always. The rental bus shuttle is packed shoulder to shoulder with insanely long wait times.
Don't be a dillweed who stuffs your jacket and small bag in the overhead when the flight is full.
When getting groped at Security Theater, be sure to moan and wiggle your pelvis suggestively. It makes everyone more comfortable.
Buy an Alaskan Airlines boardroom membership, the cost of Starbucks coming and going for a year!
If you are traveling to Portland, don't forget that you get to use the VIP security check lane!
Skip Starbucks, the lines are too long. Dilettante has great coffee and the best hot chocolate I've ever had.
For ride shares like Lyft or Uber, head to level 3 of the parking garage past the taxi pickup area.
Vino Volo, not just a wine bar but great place to grab a bite to eat and no crowds!
Looks like Sub Pop is opening a store here! Stop in and say "Hi" to Rachael!
Young CMarch 15, 2013Get there earlier. Security lines for AM flights are longgg!! Food lines in terminal N are long as well.
Ravi PAugust 9, 2012Light rail to downtown is a bargain at $2.75! But leave plenty of time for walking to the terminal if you are catching a flight.
TSA searched me for having my daughters spit up on my jacket when it went thru xray and for traveling with 2nd sealed ready to feed formula. At 5:30am on my way to Ketchikan, a 90 min flight.
Security lines are longer than most US airports here. Lack of good well-known food options. Centurion lounge always crowded or full. Annoying train system to get to terminals.
Get a healthy snack of two hard boiled eggs and (kosher!) Bacon Salt at Dish D'Lish by concourse B.
You know you have to go through security.. Don't be "That Guy!" Who not Ready to walk through security.. Trust Less is best..
Susan FeldmanAugust 1, 2011Full body scanner going through security isn't required. You can opt to go through the metal detector instead with the possibility of a pat down. Certainly better than the scanner.
David AboApril 3, 2013When you get to security check-in, ask the TSA which check-in area has a shorter line.
Yahmeela SernaMarch 2, 2012If coming from NYC the take off from terminal 3 is smooth here. Flight with little turbulence thank the crew!!
The food in this airport is pretty awesome compare to a lot of other US airports. Free wifi is a godsend.

"First time back since it opened and all the shuttle drivers are super friendly. I also felt like the process was super streamlined making for a good experience. However, it's a bit out of the way."
