5 hours to kill at Seatac

Anyone have any good ideas how to creatively spend the five hours prior to our SEA-CPH flight? We don't want to venture very far so preferably something in the airport. We are flying business class SAS.

There's not much to do if you stay in the airport, it's undergoing massive remodeling. You could have races through the plywood tunnels between the A, B, C, and D concourses. You could ride the train around and around and around. I generally camp out at the AAdmiral's Club or the Alaska Boardroom and spend the time on the internet.

Oh yeah, and a 5-hour massage would be FANTASTIC. (Right across from the C2 gates, next to the Horizon service desk.)

I'm on that flight on Wednesday myself!

The massage is most likely your best bet as there's absolutely nothing to do in the environs of Sea-Tac.

The Doubletree (shuttle bus every 15 minutes) has got a happy hour (but then, drinks in the SK lounge are free) and there is also a brew pub by the Coast hotel (both well within walking distance of S satellite main terminal egress). There's also the 13 Coins but I am not too crazy about the place.

Since you're flying SK in C, you have access to the Scandanavian Lounge and the Red Carpet Club. Both are nothing to write home about (though the SK lounge has free booze, neither has windows) but there are PCs in the SK lounge.

I say that if you are hungry, take a cab to the Roaster. If you are not hungry then lounge around in the lounge.

Chug Starbucks in the Alaska Boardroom and surf the Internet... not really much else to do.

13 Coins is an excellent restaurant and directly across the street, highway 99. Excellent eclectic menu, but a little pricey. You could definitely walk to it.
