Usual tip for all airports. Curbside Pickups at departure during late evenings are hassle free.
Waji in c gates has spam, egg and rice breakfast plate!- There are charging stations throughout the airport gates. #PortofSeattle #SeaTacAirport
HannesMay 24, 2012Go to the Central Food Court Lounge and enjoy the view. Plus, they have rocking chairs :)
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.
Love approaching from the south on a clear day. Rainier, Adams, and St. Helens.
Once you've boarded an airplane, sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cup of water.
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.
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.
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
Mashhoor AhmedSeptember 1, 2014Finally, we are here after a long journey from Jeddah to Seattle.. Wish me luck ..
Yummy sandwiches at Beechers near gate C2. Also, really friendly service!
Fun fact: SeaTac airport is the largest airport in SeaTac.
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
New United gates are a walk, especially if you're TSA ore-approved. Nice United club.
Jorge AndradeSeptember 15, 2011Don't forget to stop at the gift shop and get the coolest souvenir in town... the Seattle-invented Rain Globe...
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.
Use the water fountain in the Southwest terminal for bonus sound effects.
Dewan TarekJanuary 25, 2013Ask your hotel if there are shuttles to the airport here since they're close by and complimentary
You know you have to go through security.. Don't be "That Guy!" Who not Ready to walk through security.. Trust Less is best..
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.
If your leaving in the morning have them drop you off at arrivals there’s no line
Buy an Alaskan Airlines boardroom membership, the cost of Starbucks coming and going for a year!
Easy to navigate airport. The USO is before you check in through security, which is odd.
When getting groped at Security Theater, be sure to moan and wiggle your pelvis suggestively. It makes everyone more comfortable.
Pretty efficient airport and easy to get to by public transportation.
During the summer remember to pack your patience as the airport is quite busy and congested.
Vino Volo, not just a wine bar but great place to grab a bite to eat and no crowds!
Skip Starbucks, the lines are too long. Dilettante has great coffee and the best hot chocolate I've ever had.
If you have a military CAC, you can go to the TSA pre-check. No shoes off.....no liquids/gels, laptops out your bags.....none of that. Just walk thru.
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.
Locals know how to spot a tourist. They just look for the umbrellas.
Not the most exciting airport but functional. Plenty of Starbucks available. Sign up to CLEAR if you wish to proceed through customs quickly.
Go to Discover Puget and buy a $20 bottle of Washington wine w/ a screw top and save on your flight.
TSA Checkpoint 1 is for Pre-Check and has Clear, so it’s the fastest usually
There are definitely better airports out there. The southwest and international terminals are due for an upgrade
David AboApril 3, 2013When you get to security check-in, ask the TSA which check-in area has a shorter line.
If you are traveling to Portland, don't forget that you get to use the VIP security check lane!
Felita ShenAugust 22, 2012Hire a town car for $40 flat rate. Way more comfy than a taxi. Taxis are $35 to downtown then they add some fees, so it's practically the same price.
Looks like Sub Pop is opening a store here! Stop in and say "Hi" to Rachael!
For ride shares like Lyft or Uber, head to level 3 of the parking garage past the taxi pickup area.
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.
Young CMarch 15, 2013Get there earlier. Security lines for AM flights are longgg!! Food lines in terminal N are long as well.
