David HackettJanuary 27, 2015There's no place like your home airport. I enjoy the mall shops, the train to N and S gates, and the friendly check-in clerks and TSA people.
Go thru checkpoint 3 or 5 when the k9 dogs are in use.. speedier screening
SamsoniteMay 3, 2011SEA has outdoor and indoor pet relief areas, a children's play area, a nail salon, massage bars, business centers and a downloadable guide to the airport's extensive art collection.
Christine HongNovember 24, 2014The live musician in the beautiful, airy food court is a nice plus. Grab a coffee and enjoy between flights.
Take a deep breath and enjoy the relaxing environments of this airport. Especially if you're heading back East, where the airports are buzzing hives of alerts and noise.
Check the food court area. It's just like being in a brand new high school and you don't know anybody; you're just searching for an empty spot. Make a friend if you got the time.
The Priority Pass lounge is a long hike at the end of A wing - if your gate is anywhere other than A, you’ll need to budget plenty of time to visit.
If you're in a hurry get off the shuttle one stop early, like at Southwest for Delta. Inside the terminal distances are shorter, you save almost 10 minutes
Jennifer SteinerSeptember 12, 2018Look for security line being monitored by the dogs. You get to keep your shoes on and the line goes really fast!
Lovely clean and quiet-ish (Gate N) airport... I enjoyed that. 😁
For this being a high tech town, make sure your electronics are charged. Very few outlets and many of those are broken.
Security can be a bit long but still a good airport. Easy to navigate and staff is friendly and helpful
Joseph ZieglerFebruary 22, 2014This airport is pretty busy and you'll be lucky if you don't have to wait in line. Even at 5am there is a long line, so get there 2 hours before the flight as suggested.
Good luck finding a good burger anywhere! There's one McDonalds hidden by United, an over priced Greedy Cow in S gates, Burger King at N, and maybe 2 out of the 7 bar/sit down restaurants that do.
Great American Bagel has great Bagel sandwiches. Get it to go and bring it out into nice big central food court area.- NabeelJuly 8, 2011There's nobody at the JetBlue counter from 530p-745p. If you're on a redeye to JFK and come super early, try bag dropoff at 530p, even though check-in is 4 hrs max prior. Or just cruise the free wifi!
Eric SabbanApril 8, 2017Planes fly out of here. Beware of the traffic. Plan ahead if you're getting there by car. Not sure what the deal is for trains, but it can be a standstill at times.
Flew United, and thought the terminal was well maintained. Security was efficient. Also love the Link service to downtown for $3.
Jordan WhiteAugust 13, 2014Gone through a nice remodel. Live music throughout the terminal. Good restaurants and shops. Getting through security has improved greatly.
For the love of god, have your airline ticket and photo identification in-hand when you approach the TSA person. Use that time you spend in line to get ready -- you can read that email afterwards.
Nice and simple international airport. Security can get busy but it is ran efficiently and is quick.
Double drinks @ Anthony’s before your flight! Always great service!
TSA Pre lines can get really long, normal security lines sometimes reach an hour wait. Go in advance. For healthy food options the new salad place is pretty good.
Check out the new Dilettante Mocha Cafe at the N Gates. Get a Mocha with your choice of real melted chocolate. Better than Starbucks!
Sub Pop Records, Beecher's Cheese, Caffe Vita, and Ivar's are among the local NW shops featured here. Skip Chili's and check them out.
All concourses/satellites are connected post-security, so if one checkpoint is busy, there are 2 (sometimes 3) others you can go through.
Anthonys Seafood is the best place to sit down and watch airplanes take off/land. Decent food for the airport; best quality, selection and view. Cheers !
There are shelves at eye level above the urinals. One in ten passengers will bang their head into them before or after relieving themselves. Don't be one of them.
In the mood for fish tacos?Anthony's fish bar in the central food court have the best Mahi Mahi grill fish tacos :-D For clam chowder, Ivar's has the best.
Gordon HughesJune 19, 2017For Delta Crown Club members skip the restaurants and enjoy dinner in the remodeled club. Food is catered in from the better airport eateries.
SheilaOctober 19, 2019California airports need to take lessons on traffic and people moving from Sea-Tac, even in the rain we stayed undercover from plane to bus to terminal to shuttle services!
huilineJuly 21, 2017Flying AIr Canada going to Toronto? Then you end at the furthest gate where the food and snack options are poor. They don't even have a gate number sign for my flight. Good job Air Canada!
Brian IbarraMay 4, 2016You can have TNC/Rideshare like Uber or Lyft pick you up in a designated section if he parking lot next to taxis or take the train all way downtown for cheap
Seattle Airport has musicians playing, and a children’s playground. So civilized.
Try the new Lucky Louie in the food court. The teriyaki salmon is well presented and delicious.
Get here early, and be prepared to walk for several days to reach your gate.
Invest in TSA Pre ✅ for $85. You'll speed through the security line in 5 minutes, get to leave your shoes on and your laptop in your bag
If you rent a car at SeaTac plan for an extra 30+ minutes because the rental car facility has now been moved offsite and a shuttle bus will transport you to and from the terminals, similar to LAX.
Marco LackovicNovember 17, 2011The cheapest way to get downtown is the Light Rail, only 2-3$. The Downtown Airporter will take you to your hotel and pick you up on your departure date for a bit more than 50$
Joanna BurtonJune 29, 2014Take the light rail from Central Seattle all the way to the airport for the most efficient and eco way to travel and for just $2.75
Quiet, clean, and those little fish in the floor are so cute. Keep your eye out for the one with the suitcase ;)
Resist the urge to buy a seafood sandwich to enjoy on your departing flight. No one appreciates the sweet scent of fish in confined spaces.- Seattle has such friendly people. Free wifi at the airport. If it's your luck day, you might get in the TSA Pre✔ line.
Get the TSA Pre check card, cost a little, and takes a couple if months to get but so worth it to zip past everybody on busy days!
Waji's has great sushi case to go in C concourse, also has veggie snacks , salads & edamame for alternatives to the usual fare.
If want coffee at S gates, be prepared to wait in line -- only one coffee place (Seattle's Best). The line this AM was more than 30 heads deep.
DoubleTree by Hilton ManagerSeptember 22, 2011Mom was right: Use a packing list. Remember to pack all the essentials and don’t forget the most common left-behind items, chargers and toothbrushes! For travel tips, follow @DoubleTree on Twitter!
Got to go to Dish D'lish in the new section of the terminal. They have good, fresh food, and some of the options are healthy too!!
The caeser salad with grilled salmon at Anthony's is a delicious, healthy, local good option here. Yum!
Awesome food to take on flights. Copper river salmon salads, Dungeness crab brekkie sandwiches, and many more Seattle favs
