    One of the easiest airports to get in and out of. Stay at the Marriott nearby if leaving early in the morning.

    TSA is very friendly here and there's a great kids play area near the A gates!

    World’s busiest route? Between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. (Good thing you can buy Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones in Brazil.)

    Ask 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.

    If 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.

    Once you've boarded an airplane, sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cup of water.

    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

    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.

    New United gates are a walk, especially if you're TSA ore-approved. Nice United club.

    Get transit directions from the airport to your destination by sending a text message to (206) 659-6225 (e.g. 'seatac to e cherry & 15th'). Read more

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Light 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.

    You know you have to go through security.. Don't be "That Guy!" Who not Ready to walk through security.. Trust Less is best..

    Full 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.

    When you get to security check-in, ask the TSA which check-in area has a shorter line.
