    * Use your airline app to get your mobile boarding pass and check baggage

PREVIOUS COMMUNICATIONS


 * SEPTEMBER 4, 2024, 4:30 P.M.
   
   
   Flight and baggage information displays are operating with all airlines
   except United at this time.
   
   In addition, all common-use check-in kiosks are back operating normally.
   
   


 * SEPTEMBER 2, 2024, 12:30 P.M.
   
   
   Holiday volumes are high and operations are running smoothly at SEA Airport
   so far today.
   
   Baggage claim and flight information displays are coming back on in a phased
   approach as our teams complete final testing.
   
   All airlines are listed at this time for baggage claim except for Delta,
   Virgin Atlantic, Aeromexico, and United. Flight information displays are also
   coming on with all airline information except for Delta and United. These
   airlines are finalizing connections to be added soon to both displays.
   
   Volunteers remain on the ground to help travelers. Airline and other travel
   apps can also be used to track locations for gates and baggage claim
   arrivals.
   
   Aircraft are departing and arriving as we remain open, and travelers are
   getting to and from their destinations. Delays are minimal. TSA wait times
   are minimal as well.
   
   We continue to bring up more common use monitors and systems, most recently
   in various locations within the S Concourse and D Annex.
   
   


 * SEPTEMBER 1, 2024, 12:00 P.M.
   
   
   Restoration of common use systems continues to progress.  Virtually all
   airlines are back to full service for ticketing and baggage management.
   
   Few flight delays or disruptions are occurring beyond a typical busy holiday
   volume period. That continues to be the main priority to get passengers to
   and from their travels safely. TSA wait times are minimal while dining and
   retail locations are operating normally. 
   
   Display boards for flight and bag information are still being worked on in
   partnership with the airlines. Port staff and volunteers have racked up
   nearly 4,000 hours supporting customers since Monday. 
   
   Monday will be the busiest day for the holiday. Please visit our travel tips
   to find the best ways to prepare.
   
   


 * AUGUST 31, 2024, 11:00 A.M.
   
   
   More systems continue to return to normal this morning. Nearly all common use
   airlines systems for flights have returned to international and low volume
   carriers. Travelers will also see monitors for those carriers at their
   checkin counters back in operation.
   
   Flight and bag information displays are still down. Teams are making progress
   for those to return soon. Staff and volunteers in green attire continue to be
   available at key locations to help travelers with information. Those displays
   remain as the most apparent disruption to travelers. Aircraft operations have
   been back to normal and there have been minimal delays in departures and
   arrival activity.
   
   Please prepare with tips below as it is still a busy holiday period.
   
   


 * AUGUST 30, 2024, 2:00 P.M.
   
   
   Today has been a very successful travel day for the start of the Labor Day
   weekend. The majority of travelers won’t notice disruptions in their
   experience as high volume carriers are back to normal operations. Flights are
   arriving and departing as normal with few delays. The recovery process for
   common use carriers, such as international and low volume, continues as we
   test and safely restore systems to print bag tags and boarding passes.
   
   See below for a full list of travel tips on how to prepare for Labor Day
   travel.
   
   


 * POSTED AUGUST 28, 2024, 10:00 A.M.
   
   
   Teams continue to work on restoring Port of Seattle systems and are assisting
   travelers during the current outages. Labor Day travel is expected to be busy
   at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and the cruise terminals.
   
   Aircraft departures and arrivals continue to operate as normal. The biggest
   challenge for travelers remains viewing flight and baggage information on
   display monitors throughout the airport. Those systems are still down;
   however, you can access the information on airline and travel apps or by
   asking our team in green. 
   
   Reserved Parking and all other garage operations at Seattle-Tacoma
   International Airport (SEA) are working. Guests can reserve terminal direct
   parking on the fourth floor at Reserve SEA.
   
   Plan to arrive two hours before a domestic flight and three hours before an
   international flight, or check with your airline for a recommended time of
   arrival.
   
   


 * POSTED AUGUST 27, 2024, 11:49 A.M.

   possible.
