Seattle-Tacoma International Airport – North Satellite

This is probably the worst airport I have been too. Stood in the security line for 80 mins and missed my flight. Fuck SeaTac airport.

Great airport! Even with the large amounts of people passing through this airport there was no issues going through security.

I don’t get too excited about any terminals, but SEATAC is pretty good. The terminal is clean and has sufficient food and seating options. OK selection of vendors — sort of typical. Jon L’s description is detailed and accurate — I agree with his assessment.

Did you know that Airport Terminals is now a category on Unilocal?
Now that this is a category, I am reviewing one of the two satellite terminals at Seattle-​Tacoma International Airport, the North Satellite terminal. The other terminal is the South Satellite of which most international flights depart from.
The North Satellite terminal is completely occupied by Alaska Airlines. To reach the North Satellite, you need to take the people mover system to reach it. Make sure to take the right one as one heads in the other direction towards the South Satellite terminal. From the Central terminal, it is a two stop train ride to the North Satellite. If you need to make a connection from the North Satellite to the South Satellite, this would mean taking one train to the Central terminal and switching to the other train as the people mover trains only go back and forth.
The food options at North Satellite is similar to what you would find at South Satellite which is to say that it is limited. There is a Burger King, Starbucks and a couple restaurants here. If you are looking for a bite at the airport, I would recommend finding something at the Central terminal since there are more options there than at this terminal. If you are looking to shop in this terminal, there are just a few options. But there is a duty free store here.
While I have flown very little from this terminal, I have flown often out of the South Satellite terminal which has just about the same layout. My suggestions in flying out of this terminal is to bring something to eat or find something in the Central terminal before coming here. And to give yourself some extra time commuting to and from this terminal since you need to take the people mover system to reach it.
