About
Arriving at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport
SeaTac is the primary hub for Alaska Airlines and a major focus city for Delta Air Lines. The airport serves the entire Pacific Northwest and handles significant traffic to Asia and Alaska.
The single terminal building connects to North and South Satellite concourses via underground trains. Passengers arriving at satellite gates need an extra 5-10 minutes to reach baggage claim.
The drive from downtown Seattle is only 14 miles but can take 30-60 minutes depending on I-5 traffic. A landing alert lets you time your departure from the city.
Pickup tip
Use the cell phone lot on the airport's south side. Arrivals pickup is on the 3rd floor of the parking garage or at the curb on the arrivals drive.
