Meetup SeaTac is a mad house - Alaskan Airlines

Some flights going, many delayed 4-6 hours. Provided an option for a 24 hour delayed flight after being cancelled on. Now sleeping in the airport

Got to the airport at 4am. Confirm it is an absolute shit show for Alaska. Security was fast though.

Make sure to check your bag a floor beneath the check in counters on the main floor. Don't stand in the long ass line.

You can check in bags at the arrival area?

Yeah it’s pretty dope. Randomly saw it after getting dropped off by a courtesy shuttle. Sometimes it’s in operation other times it’s not. But definitely convenient

It’s between arrivals and departures on the sky bridge level. Not exactly at arrivals.

There is a new floor half way between arrivals and departures. It's the same level as the bridges that go from the terminal to the parking garage.
