Sea-Tac is probably one of America's better airports. The terminals are all fairly modern and well-kept. Security is an absolute breeze. On a good day it takes about 10 minutes to clear, on heavily congested days it takes about 20-25 minutes to clear. Getting to satellite concourses is generally easy and a new train comes every 3 minutes.

Easily the best domestic airport, besides the N/S gates.

Excellent airport to transit to via train, taxi and car (although drop-off can get backed-up). Easy check-in followed by plenty of security (which can also get back-up during peak times - allow 20-30 minutes to be safe for TSA). Terminals are modern, easy to transit and very walk-able with plenty of food and shopping. Overall a great airport to fly into/out of. Rental cars are off-site and a bit of a hassle.

SeaTac has done a lot to improve it's infrastructure. It was pretty good before, and now it has gotten even better. As far as American airports go, this should be the example of how to be (looking at you JFK, EWR, LGA, etc.).

Really easy-to-go airport with the Light Rail. Immigration was really fast and TSA agents were very nice. Baggage delivered very quickly. It only took me about 30 minutes from the gate to the Light Rail station!

I spent most of my time in the Delta SkyClubs, so ny review will center on them. The first, in Terminal A, was truly phenomenal. It was so massive I thought it was an exclusive, hidden gate area. Its amenities included a small spa, a second floor quiet area, and a larger-than-usual buffet of gourmet (cafeteria) food as well as a full-service bar. The one in terminal S above gate S9 was small but quiet and veey well-designed, boasting a stunning view of Mount Rainier and an especially friendly and skilled bartender.

Alaska has 20 min baggage claim policy, bags were waiting on the belt, best baggage claim in any airport

I love the market place in the middle of the terminal. A huge window overlooks the runways and aircraft operations. Plus lots of restaurants and shopping to go too.

Obviously an older airport that has been adapted over and over again but more than serviceable. Food and retail services outstanding...maybe one of the best airports in the country in that respect. LOVE the glass rotunda in the main concourse with the rocking chairs so airplane geeks like me and sit back and watch arrivals and departures.

I've never got to the airport by car in KSEA but only because I usually have a connection flight there. The subway signs that indicates you which direction the terminal is, well you pretty much have to work in the airport to finally understand where are the terminals otherwise you don't have the time to think you just hop in a subway and there you go. The customs are pretty fast, they try to make it quick and efficient.

Sea-Tac is a great airport that has continuously been updated. The gates are pretty easy to get to and the food court has the best view I?ve found in an airport.

Beautiful airport with free wifi. Hotel shuttle was a little tricky to get at times. Breezed right through security, even during the rush. Plenty of wall outlets to charge devices with. Definitely a wonderful airport.

This is more like it. The opposite of where our Alaska Airlines flight started in Newark the facility at SEA is well laid out, clean, brightly lit and full of interesting food options. The Wi-Fi connections are, unfortunately, overwhelmed slow and sketchy. Would highly recommend this airport.

Short flight so OK to have all 3 seats with passengers but middle guy WAS scrunched in. Service was fine. Two hour flight left and arrived on time. These 200 characters need to be removed otherwise people will not bother with a review.

Convenient transportation to/from city and nearby hotels. Check-in and security halls are too crowded. They should open additional security lines when people are lining outside the hall. WiFi is stable for video calls.

Security was uneventful and fast, and plenty of food options! It was great because the walk to the gate took me through the entire terminal, so you have plenty of food options to choose from.

The airport was deserted - no sign of the light rail station was provided inside the airport. As a result, had to walk sporadically and ask the janitors about direction to the airport. The light rail is an awesome way to get to the airport.

SEA is a real busy International Port. Now, it is not really equipped to handle that many passengers. It took more than hour for entering the terminal. The FAA auths are rude and I did not think it is one of the finer airports of the US.

If you are flying into seattle on Alaska Airlines into the ?N? Concorse, it will be a challenge to get to the train as that whole terminal in under expansion.

First time to Seattle airport. Found that there was a lack of signage which could have shortened my wondering around. Figured out directions by asking questions. Felt like it was a bit tacky and dated.

Today was busy in border control. If only they would inform passengers that there are delays and not let us stand in a passageway for 20 min without moving.
4 officers checking automated control receipts is not enough if the check involves another normal screening of your passport.
Even the exit from luggage claim was slow, this time only 2 officers.
