Now, maybe there is an elite and first class line for other concourses, but there was not one for the DL concourse at 7:00 AM on Friday, May 8.

I think I have my directions right: US and DL is at the south end, UA is at the North end. WN, CO, AS, and a couple of others (?) are in the middle... Someone correct me if these directions aren't clear enough...
I only fly in and out of SEA about once per year, so it is not a big deal. As it turned out, that would not have been worth it, because even the regular line was only about a 3 or 4 minute wait, so the extra walk would have taken at least that long I would guess, right? Maybe eventually Clear will be in 75 or 100 airports, at all of the security checkpoints, with TRULY expedited lines, and THEN it will be worth $150 or $200, but as it stands now, I would not pay more than $20 or $30 for it, at most!
