    This is our gate--a computer monitor on stacks of paper!
    Denise M.

    Okay. So it's not a matter of recommendation. If you need to fly into Seattle or Tacoma, this is your airport. I will say that this airport has the absolute worst security process that I ever seen - - and I travel frequently around the world. The TSA PreCheck/global entry line was stupid long and slow. Maybe longer than the regular line? Of course pre-check doesn't have to take off shoes or take anything out of their bags. But this was absolutely ridiculous. The line for PreCheck was probably an hour long. And when we got up there they were absolutely silly. My hubby got held up for his metal American Express credit card. Took him forever to get through security. They look through his wallet several times - - what did they think they're going to find if they keep looking at the same wallet 10 times? Of course my purse with my American Express card was not even flagged. I was, however, searched more thoroughly than I've ever been before because of my knee replacement. I'm well aware that I need to be scanned differently, but it's ridiculous for a knee replacement to be searched shoulders to ankles, having to lunge with both legs, turnaround and start all over from the back. I have never! The airport looks like it's falling down, and is held together with all kinds of temporary fixes. It is not pretty. By the time we got to our gates, we had to laugh when we saw that it was a computer monitor on a stack of reams of paper. I mean if you don't laugh, you might cry! You really don't have a choice when it comes to flying in to this area. I will also say that we flew out of this airport in an international terminal which was quite nice. So who knows?

    SeaTac Passenger Terminal is a very clean and organized air terminal with a very nice transportation system for transit from terminal to terminal within the airport. There is also a nice variety of eating and drinking establishments for your enjoyment, but the prices are very typical for airports throughout the U.S. The majority of the staff in the airport or courteous and helpful, but there are usual individuals within the TSA ranks that are unreasonable and rude.

    My first visit to SeaTac was a pleasure! During the busy Christmas holiday travel season, I had a flight out of Oregon to Detroit with a 3+ hour layover at SeaTac. Due to extreme weather conditions along the West coast to the south, many flights to California had been cancelled. This caused so many travelers to be stranded at SeaTac. As I went from my arrival gate to my departure gate, I couldn't help but notice the variety of stores and restaurants available to the flying public. But with the crowds of people, I didn't tarry long as I made my way to my departure gate. As one can imagine, once I arrived at the gate, it was already pretty well occupied by others for flights before mine. I asked a Delta Airlines employee if there was a USO available. Yes indeed, and with directions I was off to a quiet resting place. After a while, I returned to my gate and prepared for my outbound flight. The crowding I experienced before was somewhat diminished, and I was able to find a suitable seat in the waiting area. Soon I was on my way to the Midwest, a happy and satisfied traveler. While this is an international airport, and it can get pretty busy and crowded, my experience was pleasureable. I highly recommend!

    Subway. After walking half a mile, down two escalators, 2 subway stops, up 2 more escalators and down the other side of the floor, I arrived at my gate. Good thing I had a layover. Food choices are not tempting. Not fresh, not tempting, great for traveling in a diet. Almost every USB port was broken in the S gates. There are outlets as well, which I didn't try, as I did not have my cube with me.

    Nothing special. I wish there were many couches here. Location: Many fast food around here. So many tables and chairs to rest. Right next to one of the priority pass lounges.

    I got in late but the airport still has restaurants and shops open. It was fairly easy to follow the signs out to catch a ride share. I have never had a problem at this airport, but overall it could use some updates.

Seattle is a special place, green, surrounded by mountains and nature, an excellent food scene, and a place I once called home. It's from that perspective that I have to say: Seattle deserves a better airport. The airport is overdue for a major remodel, something along the lines of Portland's recent transformation. Maybe it's time to call in Seattle's own Olson Kundig. For a city with such a strong foodie culture, the airport food scene is classically disappointing: uninspired, low quality and overpriced options. Outside of Beecher's Handmade Cheese, which wasn't near my gate, Starbucks was sadly the best Seattle option available. Beyond food, the airport feels stuck in another era, complete with aging outlets, uncomfortable seating and worn floors. Portland and Hong Kong, which I've recently visited, offered a better blueprint by bringing the city's best dining into the airport experience. Airports should feel like an extension of the city they serve, and Seattle's falls short. On a positive note: the light rail to and from the airport is an unquestionable win. It is efficient, affordable, and modern. Now the airport and its food and retail offerings just need to catch up.

I wish all airports would let you stretch your legs and strut from one end of the terminals to the other, like Atlanta does. All that being said, SEA and the North Satellite Terminal are in overall good condition and the letter/numbering system is straightforward and easy to follow. Like most airports, stairs are an after-thought yet all of the escalators and aforementioned trams were in good condition.

In the app, tap the Membership tab at the bottom, select Airport Lounges, find the Seattle Sea-Tac Centurion Lounge, and then tap Join Waitlist. During my visit, the wait to get in was longer than expected (45 minutes) and using the waitlist can save you a considerable amount of time. After seeing the lounge in person, it was easy to understand why there is often a wait. The space is beautiful, but it's much smaller than I anticipated and can get very crowded during peak travel times. Another thing to know is that the lounge isn't the easiest place to find if it's your first visit. It's tucked away near Koi Sushi in the middle of the main concourse food court area, so keep an eye out for the signs as you make your way through the terminal. Once inside, I could see why so many travelers want access. The lounge is modern, comfortable, and well maintained. The staff were outstanding throughout my visit. Everyone I interacted with was friendly, professional, and genuinely welcoming. The vanilla latte was excellent and easily one of the better coffees I've had in an airport lounge. Service at the coffee bar and throughout the lounge was top-notch. The food was good, although the selection felt more limited than I expected. There was a soup station, salad options, appetizers, and several hot entrées. Everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. The green smoothies were fantastic, and the made-in-house ice cream was a standout and worth saving room for. I typically favor going to the Delta Sky Clubs when flying through Seattle, so it was nice to finally check out the Centurion Lounge. My husband specifically wanted to try it on this trip, and I'm glad we did because it was a worthwhile experience. Overall, I think the Centurion Lounge is definitely a great option if you have access. However, if you also have access to the two Delta Sky Clubs at Sea-Tac, I would personally choose those instead. The Sky Clubs offer a much more spacious experience, significantly more seating, and what feels like three times the number of food options. I've also never had to wait to get into a Sky Club in Seattle, whereas the wait for the Centurion Lounge was substantial. That said, I still enjoyed my visit. The lounge is attractive, the service is excellent, the coffee is great, and it's a comfortable place to relax before a flight. If lounge access comes with one of your cards, it's absolutely worth visiting. I'm just not sure I would pay $50 separately for access given the crowds and limited space. If you're looking for a comfortable place to recharge, grab a quality coffee, enjoy a meal, and escape the terminal for a bit, the Centurion Lounge delivers. Just set your expectations regarding the size and wait times. While my personal preference remains the Delta Sky Clubs, I can absolutely see why Centurion Lounge fans enjoy this space, especially for the service, coffee, and overall atmosphere.
