About this route
Chicago to Seattle flights
Chicago to Seattle connects the Midwest's financial center with the Pacific Northwest's tech hub, home to Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing. Multiple carriers compete on this corridor, with United offering the most frequencies from its ORD hub and Alaska providing strong connections throughout the Pacific Northwest.
Seattle-Tacoma International handles growing traffic with limited runway capacity, and Pacific weather systems can create low-visibility approach conditions. The 2-hour timezone change means morning Chicago departures arrive before lunch Pacific Time, a popular schedule for business travelers. Landing alerts help coordinate in a city where traffic to downtown can vary by over an hour.
