To get to the $20 “economy” P4 lot, turn right on 31st Ave W after you pass the terminal. If the sign says “Lot Full” as it did coming and going Saturday, you can drive in and look for a spot and exit for free if you’re under 10 minutes. There were spots available both when I arrived and when I returned, despite what the sign said. If you are there when it’s dark, you’ll need a flashlight to see where to slide your credit card at the exit, as it isn’t illuminated. There is no sidewalk on 31st Ave W, just orange pylons creating a pathway. Once you get to the main road, there is a sidewalk.
Agree that the inside of the terminal is fantastic, right down to the bathrooms. Outside still needs some finishing touches.

I've been 3 times and the 'so-called' economy lot has been full each time. I think $20 is too expensive for Snohomish County Airport, so I really don't like having to pay $30 because the cheaper lot is full. You can find parking at SeaTac that is much cheaper than that, even the Port of Seattle lot can usually be had for around $20 with the coupon. Also, the P4 lot seems like an after-thought and not well designed. But, aside from the parking rip off the terminal itself is wonderful, and very low stress compared to SeaTac.

While I'm not the quoted poster, here, as I noted in the separate PDB thread, I've never flown F on QX and not had a PDB beyond the bottle of water.
On morning flights, it is coffee or OJ; on my LAX-PAE-LAX trip 10 days ago in the evening it was sparkling wine or orange juice.

By the way if anyone sees a hotel shuttle in that area marked on the map please post the name of the hotel. If there are hotel shuttles actually serving the airport I'd love to know about them.

Staybridge Suites' website says they have Shuttle Express as their shuttle. Does not indicate if it's paid or complimentary.

Hmm.. I wonder if maybe someone put that under the wrong airports- shuttle service to SEA and no shuttle to PAE. Googling, it looks like Shuttle Express only serves SEA.

It exists. Uber drivers must queue in a waiting lot that's 12 minutes away from the airport so plan accordingly and request your ride as the plane is parking at the gate. I don't believe Lyft has a queue (or at least one doesn't show in the app), so it may be trickier getting a Lyft.

Is it geo-fenced in the systems yet? I imagine the drivers may find some closer lurking spots?
Just as PAE opens I am now moving closer to SEA... oh well.
I am sure right when I move, my dream route will open up: PAE-DAL

That HGI is close enough that people have asked them whether they'll have park & fly rates, and IIRC they've said not at this time.
