    This is our gate--a computer monitor on stacks of paper!
    Denise M.

    Okay. So it's not a matter of recommendation. If you need to fly into Seattle or Tacoma, this is your airport. I will say that this airport has the absolute worst security process that I ever seen - - and I travel frequently around the world. The TSA PreCheck/global entry line was stupid long and slow. Maybe longer than the regular line? Of course pre-check doesn't have to take off shoes or take anything out of their bags. But this was absolutely ridiculous. The line for PreCheck was probably an hour long. And when we got up there they were absolutely silly. My hubby got held up for his metal American Express credit card. Took him forever to get through security. They look through his wallet several times - - what did they think they're going to find if they keep looking at the same wallet 10 times? Of course my purse with my American Express card was not even flagged. I was, however, searched more thoroughly than I've ever been before because of my knee replacement. I'm well aware that I need to be scanned differently, but it's ridiculous for a knee replacement to be searched shoulders to ankles, having to lunge with both legs, turnaround and start all over from the back. I have never! The airport looks like it's falling down, and is held together with all kinds of temporary fixes. It is not pretty. By the time we got to our gates, we had to laugh when we saw that it was a computer monitor on a stack of reams of paper. I mean if you don't laugh, you might cry! You really don't have a choice when it comes to flying in to this area. I will also say that we flew out of this airport in an international terminal which was quite nice. So who knows?

    SeaTac Passenger Terminal is a very clean and organized air terminal with a very nice transportation system for transit from terminal to terminal within the airport. There is also a nice variety of eating and drinking establishments for your enjoyment, but the prices are very typical for airports throughout the U.S. The majority of the staff in the airport or courteous and helpful, but there are usual individuals within the TSA ranks that are unreasonable and rude.

    My first visit to SeaTac was a pleasure! During the busy Christmas holiday travel season, I had a flight out of Oregon to Detroit with a 3+ hour layover at SeaTac. Due to extreme weather conditions along the West coast to the south, many flights to California had been cancelled. This caused so many travelers to be stranded at SeaTac. As I went from my arrival gate to my departure gate, I couldn't help but notice the variety of stores and restaurants available to the flying public. But with the crowds of people, I didn't tarry long as I made my way to my departure gate. As one can imagine, once I arrived at the gate, it was already pretty well occupied by others for flights before mine. I asked a Delta Airlines employee if there was a USO available. Yes indeed, and with directions I was off to a quiet resting place. After a while, I returned to my gate and prepared for my outbound flight. The crowding I experienced before was somewhat diminished, and I was able to find a suitable seat in the waiting area. Soon I was on my way to the Midwest, a happy and satisfied traveler. While this is an international airport, and it can get pretty busy and crowded, my experience was pleasureable. I highly recommend!

    Subway. After walking half a mile, down two escalators, 2 subway stops, up 2 more escalators and down the other side of the floor, I arrived at my gate. Good thing I had a layover. Food choices are not tempting. Not fresh, not tempting, great for traveling in a diet. Almost every USB port was broken in the S gates. There are outlets as well, which I didn't try, as I did not have my cube with me.

    Nothing special. I wish there were many couches here. Location: Many fast food around here. So many tables and chairs to rest. Right next to one of the priority pass lounges.

    I got in late but the airport still has restaurants and shops open. It was fairly easy to follow the signs out to catch a ride share. I have never had a problem at this airport, but overall it could use some updates.

After a gritty over crowded underground train ride the doors open and a mad rush of human waist head for the escalators. I'm included in that afterbirth of people but I'm special. I skip the shops and head for "THE LOUNGE"! Alaska Airlines has their premium lounge for people who pay to be pampered and of coarse I pay for that privilege... I enjoy the spectacular view of planes taking off while having unlimited tasty beverage ( sometimes alcohol ) and typically morning goodies. This refuge allows me to hide out from the scourge of humanity waiting for a plane to somewhere... Ok, there are plenty of dining and beverage places to wet your whistle including a Wendy's can you believe it... In fact grabbing a chili for my flight is a wonderful idea. It will keep the travel people away from me as I'll donate some of myTreblinka fumes into the ozone layer... Moving onto the shopping well many opportunity's to purchase candy or clothing and maybe even a silly souvenir of our local sports team. Enjoy your experience and have a wonderful flight! And please folks one reminder DO NOT WHISTLE while you walk around, it's annoying!

    Date of visit: July 22, 2025…read more The concept of the different "pods" of gates to help control traffic (likely both people and planes!) is a nice one, but the biggest issue I have with it is that you are unable to walk everywhere you need to go and have to rely on the trams to get you where you need to be if you have a connecting flight. I wish all airports would let you stretch your legs and strut from one end of the terminals to the other, like Atlanta does. All that being said, SEA and the North Satellite Terminal are in overall good condition and the letter/numbering system is straightforward and easy to follow. Like most airports, stairs are an after-thought yet all of the escalators and aforementioned trams were in good condition.

Currently it looks and feels pretty run down and beat up. Interestingly they've clearly done a remodel in the past 10 years or so because the bathroom has a totally different vibe than the rest of the place - I wish they had kept the old vibe, the bathroom is bright, clean, and modern - while the rest of the place is going for a "cozy" vibe I think, but it just doesn't hit. I'm looking forward to seeing what the remodel/extension turns out to be and hopefully improving my rating. This time through they did have cookies and chips alongside the small soup bar which was an improvement as last time they only had some odd soups and pastas which I wasn't into.
