Since I live in the Seattle area, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, aka Sea-Tac, is my home airport hub. Sea-Tac is a fairly large airport with 6 gates (A, B, C, D, N (tram), S (tram)). This is a very busy airport filled with both domestic and international travelers. For those of you who don’t have TSA-Precheck or CLEAR, I highly advise getting to this airport at least two hours before your flight to allow for adequate time to get through the massively long security lines I always see. CLEAR and TSA-Precheck are a breeze however and usually there isn’t a wait. Sea-Tac is hub to both Alaska Airlines and Delta Airlines. Both of these airlines have lounges in various terminals.
- Lounges – Alaska Airlines & Delta Airlines
- Alaska lounges are located at the end of C Gate, in between C & D Gates and in the N Gate. The lounges located in C gate and N gates are brand new, the lounge between C & D could use some renovations.
- Delta lounges are located between A & B gates and in the S gate. Both lounges are brand new. Below is the Delta lounge between A & B gates.
- Rental Car Center – the rental car center is located off property and requires shuttle to the center.
- Primary Airlines: Alaska Airlines & Delta Airlines
- Uber/Rideshare Pickup: Uber/Rideshare pickup at this airport is across the bridge on the 3rd floor of the parking structure. It’s a little confusing at first but once you get there you’ll see a whole bunch of people waiting in an dazed and confused fashion trying to figure out which Toyota Prius is their Uber ride. **Life hack! – Instead of waiting with everyone else, at the entrance where the cars pull in is also a waiting area, if you wait there and look at the license plate on your app of the driver, as they pull into the Rideshare waiting you can flag them down and get in right away.
