You are right our UA flight turned into Alaskan....... Interesting new partnership

Note that LH and AS do not have a partnership. You will not earn LH miles on your AS leg.

How do I get from C gates to Terminal S if I'm transiting?

Do I have to go back to landside? Or can this be done on airside?

All the satellite terminals are connected by train so you don't have to exit security.

The interactive map on SeaTac officila web page is broken, but it's easy enough to follow the signs.

If you arrive at the end of C, go down the escalator to the train and go one stop to "D Gates, Baggage Claim, and Connect to South Terminal", get off the train and walk straight across the station to the other train (do not turn right and go to baggage claim). If you come in the lower number C gates walk to the D concourse security area where you go down 2 sets of escalators and take the train on the left as you get off the escalator.

Is it probable to do so? Have to go through security again, even if flying US domestic both legs? Can anyone tell me the optimal route from South Satellite to the North Satellite?

Thanks!

No, you don't have to re-clear security.

It's a three-train ride, or a two-train ride if you walk the length of the terminal in the middle.

while the above poster gave you the map.

You have 3 rails. 2 of them are loops between the islands and their 2 surrounding terminals and then one connecting opposite ends of the terminal (you can walk between if you want).

How certain are you the flights are arriving at ine satellite and your connection is leaving from the other? Some airlines have gates in N/s and A/B/C/D terminals

Hey there,

I was wondering if S terminal at SEA was connected to the other terminals via a walkway. I want to visit the Delta Sky Club before departing for Beijing on Hainan Airlines (not sure which concourse).

Thank you.

The S concourse is connected to the other concourses airside via an underground train, so you will be able to access the DL lounge before your flight. HU also uses the S gates.

Oh cool.Thanks very much!!

I arrived SEA today on DL145 from AMS. The baggage claim/customs area was crazy! The line to get through the customs check spilled out of the maze before the inspection desks and wrapped all the way around the hall to behind the baggage claim carousels (all the way to halfway between the escalators you use to come down the escalators from passport check). There was a gal back there holding a sign that said "end of line here" and people herding arriving passengers to the line. Given how organized this was, it must be a regular occurrence.

I've qualified for Global Entry so I was able to skip all this and pass through the customs check in about 60 seconds. But for those who were connecting and did not have Global Entry it looked to me that you would be standing in that line for more than 30 minutes - and if you are connecting you then have to re-clear security on the other side (which I did not get a look at how backed up that was). Uggh.

If your planning to connect INTL->DOM at SEA, before to allow yourself plenty of time. SEA is really bursting at the seams.

My wife and I will be flying into Seattle on an overnight flight from Fairbanks on Alaska Air arriving into Seattle at 4:15am We are planning to catch a Southwest flight out of Seattle that departs @ 6:25am. From my reading this will involve claiming our checked bags at the Alaska baggage claim, then making our way to the Southwest counter to recheck our bags, and finally, go through security (again) to board our flights home on Southwest. Does anyone have any input on if this is possible in the amount of time we have(2hr 10min) I wish Southwest had an interline agreement but looks like I'll have to make this work the best I can. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!

I wouldn't expect any problems. Alaska is good about delivering bags to the carousel quickly, and security lines are not long at that early hour. I think only the central security checkpoint (#3) is open at that time, but that's convenient to the B concourse where the Southwest flight will depart from.

Who knows, these days with TSA, but this should be do-able under ordinary conditions. Alaska guarantees baggage out in 20 minutes after arrival at the gate, and it would be a 5-10 minute slog from there to the Southwest counter. If you shipped your baggage from Fairbanks to your final destination, it would be much more certain and less stressful; no second pass through of security in Seattle. Fairbanks is one of the furthest outlets in the US with a Fedex office, just down Airport Road from the Airport.
