Walk from your gate-to the light rail-catch monorail from Westlake Station & get to the Needle w/o a car. Good for avoiding zombies too.
Mark JansenDecember 15, 2012Find a shorter line for security. All the entrances can access all gates. Trade a slightly longer walk for a much shorter wait.
Julie DujardinApril 19, 2013Once you check your bags and go through security grab a refreshment like Vitamin water, you'll be able to bring it on the plane too!
Matthew BogartJanuary 3, 2015Easy to get in and out. Didn't stay long but better experience the. At Ohara or similar larger city airport.
JasonJanuary 16, 2013Have lunch at Anthony's fish place in front of the big glass window. Amazing site to watch as your eating.
Motiejus OsipovasFebruary 6, 2015For long layovers the $45 USD for a lounge spot is definitely worth it. Although, they don't have secure WiFi.
Anthony's chowder is awesome... If you have a beer with it I suggest something dark and Large! Cheers
Get your camera ready. Some of the best photos in the world were taken up in the air. (A window seat away from the wing is your best choice for views.)
Best airport I've been thru! Security lines are long but fast & efficient! Love it!
A pretty good place to have a layover. International gates are a little sparse for food or shopping, though.
There are plenty of other coffee shops besides Starbucks. With much shorter lines. Venture out!
Michael RomoSeptember 26, 2010If the food choices don't rock your boat at the terminal you fly into take the train to the Central Terminal for better food! Anthony's has seafood, beer, drinks and comfortable seating!
Grab a seat in a rocking chair in the big food court area by the windows & watch the planes take off
If your traveling to downtown Seattle or the ferries take the light rail. It's right in the parking garage and only cost $2.75!!!
Mary GirifalcoSeptember 3, 2013There are a few trains here. You should leave some time and pay close attention . Very kind people!
Matt28800 @January 20, 2013Flew out at 6am on a holiday Sunday and EVERY food location and shop was open and doing business. Very Nice!
One of my favorite airports. Clean, never crowded and a great selection of amenities
Delta Sky Club in S terminal between. S-9 & S-10. Take the stairs or dedicated elevator up a floor.
The renovations with the new food area in the central terminal are spectacular.
Doug CaldwellJune 8, 2011Alaska Airlines has efficient passenger baggage handling. Multi-check in points. Get boarding pass beforehand at free standing podiums. If checkin podium doesn't read your card ask the 'red vest' h
Duff McKagan from Guns n Roses has pre-recorded announcements. lol
Heather geddingsNovember 22, 2013Excellent last-minute shopping at Fireworks. Lots of great $10 or less interesting gift ideas.
Treat yourself to real Seattle coffee and grilled cheese sandwich at Caffe Vita and Beechers in the C concourse.
Beware of the curb. It is for loading and unloading only. Violators may be ticketed and towed. You have been warned. ;)- Sea-Tac typically has longer lines and can be troublesome to connect through because of the 5+ concourses. Pretty clean though.
If you're in the north satellite, eat at Bigfoot! Family owned -real people& tasty!! Try the pulledpork sandwich! They also have alcohol :)
Oh! Flight crew gets priority... Poetic justice= when an AA stewardess cuts in front bc she's late and more important, she then gets chosen for a pat down and the person doing it is her first time!
Robyn SiderskyJuly 28, 2012The Bagel place in the N terminal is awesome. Quick service and yummy. Great for early flights.
Easy to navigate airport. Wait times are usually around 10s. No healthy food options.
Frequent flyer tip: Head to checkpoint 3, the one in front of the open area that includes Starbucks, etc. The line may look long, but unlike the others it actually moves.
Give yourself 3x time than you expected to get from rental car facility, security and transport to your gate.
Get to the airport early and head to beechers for some delish grilled cheese and Mac and cheese 😋
The kids' playroom is awesome! I wish every airport had one! Also love the great 3D mobile sculpture in the main terminal!
Ernesto DuterteMay 25, 2013If it's your first time here, then you'd better ask someone knowledgeable how to get to your destination! Have a safe flight.
Sandy SchadlerJune 7, 2013I was at BNA, DFW, LAX, SFO, and SEA in the same week. Only Seattle had a ridiculous security line. Don't come through without having pre-check or plan for a full hour in security.
Jed 🐙🦑🐡🐳 🐖🦂 CarosaariSeptember 26, 2021If you're coming in as a non-citizen - pray. It's too late to turn around, but Seattle is notorious for being the worst port in the US for barring people if anything seems slightly out of order.
Best spot to go if you have some time is to the end of any of the terminals, lots of free space and places to plug in
Johnny SpencerMarch 15, 2015For arrivals you don't have to stay in the right lane the whole way. Both lanes go to the carousels.
Really fine airport facility. Security experience is much improved over the past. The dining and shopping choices are superior, compared to most airports. New rent car facility is too remote, tho.
JennApril 27, 2011Great airport. Lots to do after security. Try the turkey & cheddar w/ cucumber sandwich from Starbucks...its the perfect snack before a flight.
Leaving from C10 and above? Grab a quick snack at Uwaji's. I recommend the Spam Musubi.
Thank you so much to the people in United airlines, they changed our flight to a non stop flight! 5 1/2 hours earlier! Yupiiiii
RaniaJuly 23, 2017One of the best views but unlike the domestic terminal, only limited (unhealthy) food options are available once you pass through security check. Disappointing
Blake OlsonJanuary 6, 2015I love the airline pretzels! However this crowded bathroom smelling airport also has way too many crying baby's, definitely ruined my trip. 👎
Apparently you don't have to empty your pockets, take out your laptop, or take off your shoes anymore here!
Cell phone waiting lot has nice clean port-o-potties! Such a relief!
Make sure you add extra time if you're departure is from Gate S. It's separate from the main terminals and requires a shuttle from gate A and several escalators.
