So, for no, it looks like I arrive at the N gates, and have to dash all the way across to the B gates for my connection. Anyone familiar with SEA know how much time one needs to allow for this? Does one have to go through security screening when going from N to B?

My scheduled connection is 68 minutes, but considering that UA #327 is at the absolute bottom of the on-time stats at flightstats.com, I am thinking this will be tighter than that, and may have to plead for an AS backfill once I get to SEA.

Any other recommendations on what to think about for such a connection?
SEATAC airport is goingthrough a major shift of gates so to to be honest its a crap shoot on where you will arrive and depart from. Untied has North satelitte and B gates. The flight from Denver could arrive at B gate and your flight to ANC could fly from N.

If you have to change terminals the train system is the easiest and your connecting time is more than enough.

above is a mp laying it out if you need to use the trams/light rails. From N you go to D cross over and take the South and then take the train to B...or you can take N to C and then walk to B.
