    About the same as Safeway Chinese food. If you are really hungry it does the job.

     

  • Alaskaconnecting flight to Fairbanks, AK
    May 3, 2012

    I am arriving Seatac from SEOUL, Korean Airlines @11.50 am and have connection flight on Alaska Airlines to Fairbanks. How I can go from there?

     

    1. As an international arrival, you arrive at the South Satellite, then go through immigration clearance, pick up cked bags, continue to customs, re-check-in your bags, go through TSA security screening (count on 30-60 mins)and then proceed to your connecting flight. 2. Alaska Airlines uses Concourses C & D with corresponding gates, as well as Satellite North (N gates). Look at your ticket and the overhead screens for your departing gate. 3. If transferring from South Satellite to North Satellite: After immigration take the subway - make sure to follow the transfer path, NOT the baggage stop. Take the train to Transfer to North Satellite stop, walk across platform to transfer subway and take it to the next stop, then walk across platform, take the next train & get off at North Sattelite. It will involve 2 transfers and 3 trains, but only 15-20 mins. 5. If you need to travel between the South Satellite & Concourse C, take first the train from the South Satellite to the Main Terminal, cross over to the shuttle to the North Transit Station, from there cross again to the train at the opposite side to take you to the end of Concourse C. If your departure is in Concourse D, you can walk there from the C gates.

     

  • Connecting from Canada to international
    Apr 22, 2012

    We're considering flying from Edmonton on an Alaska Airlines flight that arrives at 6:18pm and connecting to a Delta flight that leaves at 7:20pm. I've seen that international flights arrive and depart from the south satellite--is that also true of the Alaska flights arriving from Canada? If so, it seems we wouldn't leave the south satellite. Is that true? Thanks!

     

    1. Make sure you use Edmonton's U.S. Customs Clearance, saving you time at SEA. At SEA, Alaska uses Concourses C & D and the North Terminal, while Delta uses the South Terminal. Look at your Ticket to see which gate you depart from at Edmonton (C, D or S gates?) Connections between them are complicated - I suggest you open www.ifly.com/sea & and choose 'Terminal Map' from Quick Links to the left. Below the terminal map you find the various modes of transfer options. Your time is very tight!

    What is the concourse for flight to Chicago on Alaka Airline?

     

    Alaska uses Concourses A & D and Satellite North. Look at your ticket.

    I am arriving on ALaska Air 12:47 pm (domestic flight) and connecting to Delta Intl. 13:40. I am unfamiliar with Seatac. How far is the distance between terminals? Can someone give me directions to transfer between terminals?

     

    You arrive at SEA at Concourse C, gate C10 and will need to transfer to the Delta flight at the South Satellite (S gates). Take the reverse course of this direction: If you need to travel between the South Satellite & Concourse C, take first the train from the South Satellite to the Main Terminal, cross over to the shuttle to the North Transit Station, from there cross again to the train at the opposite side to take you to the end of Concourse C. Signs will guide you from the C gates to the Satellite gate. One hour should suffice.

     

  • Horizon-Delta Connection in 30 minutes?

    I am looking to book a horizon flight into seattle and then depart on a delta flight. The horizon flight will arrive at 6:40 am and the Delta flight leaves at 7:15. Is this enough time to get from one gate to the next? Thanks!

     

    Horizon uses Concourse C of the Main Terminal with gates C1-20; Delta uses the South Satellite with gates S1-13. On arrival use the shuttle train to the Satellite S gates. Follow signs. No time to waste!

     

  • Where is Gate HG?

    My Horizon flight usually lands at something called Gate HG, but I can't find it anywhere and need to know where it is so I can figure the best way to connect with American to Chicago in about 1 hour, if all goes well. Thanks.

     

    Horizon now goes officially under name of Alaska Airlines (after merger); Alaska uses a number of gate areas - depending on where they come from: click on http://www.portseattle.org/Sea-Tac/Flights-Airlines/Pages/default.aspx?typ=A&fltnum=&city=&from=&to=&airline=QX&dt=04-07-2012 [change date if it's not today's] and add your details. American is in Concourse A. All concourses asre connected at post-security.

     

  • Delta to Hawaiian

    I arrive at SeaTac on a Delta flight at 9:35am and am departing on a Hawaiian flight at 10:10 - which concourse does Hawaiian fly out of and if I'm quick will I have time to make my Hawaiian flight? Will Delta have time to get my bags to the Hawaiian flight?

     

    1. You arrive at SEA via Delta at the South Satellite which has a connector to Concourse A where you arrive via escalator between gates & transit level. Just follow signs, but hurry.

    i have a stop over in seattle for an hour from houston. then to narita japan. do u think this is enough time? i wanna know also if i need to transfer to other terminal for my international flight? i will be on united airlines for both flights. thank you.

     

    United uses Concourse B with gates B1-15 & Satellite North with gates N1-16. On arrival look and the overhead screens to find your flight number and departure gate; then follow signs. One hour transfer is enough.

     

  • need to know if two airlines close

    If i am getting off alaska airlines and need to get onto delta airlines are they close to each other? I do not travel much and get lost in sea-tac. I'm wondering if i get off ak airline to get on delta to travel to salt lake city, utah how far away are the two airlines from each other? Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

     

    1. The passenger terminal complex at SEA consists of a Main Terminal, divided by a central terminal area with four Concourses A - D, and the North & South Satellites: Shaped like a bow, Concourse B and South Satellite areto the left, Concourse C and North Satellite are to the right, and Concourses A & D are attached to the south ends of the Main Terminal. 2. Alaska uses both Concourses C & D (gates C1-20, D1-12) Delta uses the South Satellite (gates S1-13). (Check your ticket for gate numbers - while I have Delta listed for the South Terminal - this terminal serves all international arrivals). 3. All concourses are connected at post-security, enabling passengers to freely move around without having to leave the secured area. 4. Concourse A's escalator between gates & transit level takes you to the South Satellite. Concourse C has a connector to Concourse D at Horizon Air Special Services.

    I am arriving on Virigin America airlines at 11:55. Then I need to catch a Sea Plane (Kenmore Air) at 1:15 going to Roche Harbor and I am only allowed 35lbs . Between that I need to store extra baggage at Ken's Baggage. Do I have enough time to do this and where are each of these places located.

     

    Contact the Airport at http://www.portseattle.org/About/Contact/Pages/Contact-the-Port.aspx or call 206-787-5388 or 1-800-544-1965

    I am arriving from Canada on Horizon and leaving on domestic flight Alaska air Is there a ground transportation still between terminals? I don't do underground trains?

     

    1. Assuming that your Canadian Airport has U.S. customs clearance, you won't have to undergo this procedure arriving at SEA. Horizon serves both Concourse C (and Satellite South - if you don't have U.S. pre-clearance), while Alaska uses Concourse D. All concourses are connected at post-security, enabling passengers to freely move around without having to leave the secured area. You won't need shuttles or trains to get there.

     

  • meeting international arrivals

    my friend is arriving from Beijing on Hianan 495. Can I meet her in the South Termainal, or must I wait until she takes the train to the main terminal?

     

    Passengers arrive at the South Satellite (whether changing planes or ending their trip at Sea-Tac) and then go through immigration clearance, pick up checked luggage, continue to customs (taking 30-60 minutes), put luggage on the high-speed conveyor which will deliver it to the Baggage Claim, and thereafter proceed to the Main Terminal to pick up luggage at the Baggage Claim carousel. Meet her there, or in front of the information counter nearby.
