Average SEA security delay?
I have two upcoming trips to SEA. I'm currently booked on the redeye coming home, but would really like to take the 1:15pm SEA-ATL flight instead-- assuming I can get to the airport and through security in time. What kinds of wait times are folks seeing for flights originating in SEA?

25 - 45 minutes seems to be the range I have had to wait. The 45 min wait is the usual 5-7AM & 4-6PM wait. These lines look enormous but if you stay Left most line going to the N & D gates you'll move the fastest (always breaks into two lines, the right line only breaks into two lines sometimes and gets all the crew and GA traffic) Most the the other time its not to bad.
C concourse can be accessed from the N & D security line so if pick which ever appears shorter. Stay to the Left if you do choose the C concourse line for the same reasons as above.
S concourse, no clue. Maybe someone else can help with that.

I have been on about 30 flights since 911 and my usual security wait at SEA is 5 minutes or less. We did once have to wait about 15-20 minutes, and I bellieve that was at about 10:00 am on a Saturday at the C (AS) gates portal. As I recall the N (UA) lines were about twice that long that morning.
