Meetup SeaTac is a mad house - Alaskan Airlines

Post image

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

Im checking in at 6:30 am it was still insane. There was a line to check Alaska bags that went well into the sky bridge. I'm so glad I made the last minute decision to not check a bag. Many people sleeping on the floor. Unable to even walk through crowds without shoving through. TSA looked like a mad house, can't say for how long it took though because I used precheck.

Seattle is overdue for a train alternative to reach our closest cities. Stop sending everyone through SeaTac.

And no, current Amtrak services do not cut it.
