Wanted to make you aware if you’re traveling to or from here right before or after Memorial Day weekend, the local news reported SEATAC airport is reporting its highest volume of passengers all year, with over 175k people coming through TSA checkpoints on 5/24. 
 

Some tips:

-Be aware Billy Joel is playing at T Mobile Park downtown on 5/24. Expect massive traffic delays from northbound and southbound. Traffic is worst from 4-8 and clears around 8pm before the concert lets out around 11pm

- Leave as much time as possible in getting to the airport. 
- If you can, utilize the light rail to get to the airport. It’s about a 1/3 mile walk from the station to the terminal but it’s all covered in the garages and there are free golf cart shuttles provided. 
-If you’re being dropped off, ask to be dropped off at arrivals if the line to departures is backed up. It’s very simple to get to departures from there. 
-If you don’t have TSA pre, utilize space saver - https://www.portseattle.org/SEAspotsaver

-If you’re disembarking and your flight is after noon, look into if your cruise participates into port valet. They will take your bags the last night of the cruise and get them checked at the airport. It’s free and it’s a massive time saver. 
 

 

Welcome and happy cruising!
