SEA does get slammed often with capacity passenger numbers, but the airport is efficient at keeping flights taking off, nearly every minute, back-to-back. A friend just returned from Philadelphia after a 2 hour wait in line on the tarmac to take off. I've never experienced anything remotely close to that at SEA. If passengers are not TSA Pre Check or have CLEAR, they can reserve a place and time in the regular security lines, which is convenient and efficient.

3 hours early is a good rule to follow

SeaTac isn’t perfect but I’ll take it over most airports in the country. 🛫🌲🏔️
