I'm not sure where to post this but...

My flight leaves Seattle at 2am and they suggest that we arrive 3 hours beforehand at 11pm. I've arrived this early for a flight before and was quite bored. I'll be bringing my wireless laptop with me and am wondering if there's free wireless access in the terminal? Do I have to be somewhere in particular for this? This would certainly help the time go by!

I'll be arriving in Taipei at about 5 or 6am their time and may have to stay there for a couple hours waiting for our ride. I'm wondering if they have wireless as well?

Thanks.
Dan

SEA does have wireless- most (all?) terminals are covered by Wayport, about $7 for 24 hours. wayport.net (http://www.wayport.net/)

However- 3 hours before a 2 AM flight!?!? I take a 10 PM redeye to the east coast quite often from terminal B, and there's never more than 10 or 15 people, absolute tops, in the security line in front of me. If it was a domestic flight, I'd say 90 minutes is more than adequate. Not sure how international departures from SEA go, but 3 hours seems like a lot of waiting.

I've found Wayport throught the airport. There's also T-Mobile in the American Airlines AAdmirals Club in the new Terminal A. The club closes at 11:30 p.m. but you might be able to pick it up outside the club at gate A9. Both Wayport and T-Mobile charge, but you can get day passes for less than $10. The Alaska Board Room has free wireless. They're right at the beginning of the D concourse, just past screening and next to Taco Bell, but they close at 10:30 p.m. The wireless stays on later, I've picked it up sitting right outside the club. Good luck!

Yeah, I guess we're supposed to arrive 2hrs beforehand for domestic flights and 3hrs for international like mine. It does seem too long of a wait though.
