Practical Travel Safety Issues - Hours of Operation for PreCheck line at Sea-Tac?View Full Version : Hours of Operation for PreCheck line at Sea-Tac? Mats Jun 21, 12, 2:28 pm The past two times I've traveled through Sea-Tac, Checkpoint 5 has been closed and thus no PreCheck was available to me. Does anyone know if there are specific hours for this checkpoint, or if it's dynamic based on the number of anticipated passengers? SEA1K4EVR Jun 22, 12, 10:21 am The past two times I've traveled through Sea-Tac, Checkpoint 5 has been closed and thus no PreCheck was available to me. Does anyone know if there are specific hours for this checkpoint, or if it's dynamic based on the number of anticipated passengers?While I don't know the specific hours.. it usually is not open for any late night/redeye flights. It opens in the morning pretty early... by 5am I believe. Mats Jun 22, 12, 10:28 am They must close really early. I haven't been able to use Checkpoint 5 as early as 8:30/9:00 pm. Bummer! Ari Aug 12, 12, 4:17 pm Are they still closing this checkpoint early in the evening? tusphotog Aug 12, 12, 5:13 pm I've seen it closed at 7-730p when connecting in SEA. Ari Aug 12, 12, 10:07 pm I've seen it closed at 7-730p when connecting in SEA. :td: billatq Dec 1, 12, 12:11 am When I went through this week, they told me that the official closing time is currently 8:00PM, but that they're looking to expand the hours until midnight early next year. doublea7 Dec 1, 12, 9:55 pm FYI, I see they have also changed the precheck lane from checkpoint 5 to checkpoint 3 at seatac. BStrauss3 Dec 2, 12, 10:24 am They also have a screener at 1, who checks stuff (BP, ID), tells you "there's a pre-check line at 3" and then sends you to the TDC who checks stuff again. Our tax dollars 'at work'... lightbulb Dec 2, 12, 11:18 am They also have a screener at 1, who checks stuff (BP, ID), tells you "there's a pre-check line at 3" and then sends you to the TDC who checks stuff again. Our tax dollars 'at work'... LOL. I had the exact same experience the other day. :D Westcoaster Dec 3, 12, 4:11 pm FYI, I see they have also changed the precheck lane from checkpoint 5 to checkpoint 3 at seatac. Very true. And the good news is that they scan your BP at the entrance to the precheck lane to make sure you get the triple beep before allowing you into the line. tkey75 Dec 4, 12, 12:38 am They also have a screener at 1, who checks stuff (BP, ID), tells you "there's a pre-check line at 3" and then sends you to the TDC who checks stuff again. Our tax dollars 'at work'... Just had this experience tonight, as well. Here I was comingto post this experience and found this thread right next to the 'How often do PreCheck users get randomly selected for full screening' one.
