Flights from Washington to North America: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travelers who flew the route from Washington to North America 
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Smooth transition, bit of walking from baggage claim to customs to trains for gates. However, very quick at quiet times, loved it. No issues, had a coffee along the way.
ChristineFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Small airport, so easy to manage changing flights
BrendaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
You will have to gate check your bag if it is any bigger than a backpack or duffle bag. Expect to find your bag in baggage claim, not at the end of the walkway.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2026
TSA had passengers at SEA-TAC shuffling a long distance between screening locations when one got backed up, but otherwise it was a smooth dropoff, check-in, shuttle to terminal experience.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Seattle is a large, confusing, multi gate airport. Various modes of access to gates is not always clear. Prepare for delayed flights as flight turnovers are high.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2026
If you have no seat assigned get there super early and try to find out how they can support your connecting flight.
MichelleFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
It’s a long flight. Wear a mask is you want to avoid catching something someone on flight may have.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Arriving with a carry on, a hour before the boarding is plenty of time.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2026
Make sure you bring a fillable water bottle as often turbulence makes in flight drinks or snacks unlikely. Plan on delays and don’t expect any kind of exemplary service. I would love to say it’s a fluke but my last 4 flights have been the same. Mediocre to worse is about all you can expect.
KathyFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
Alaska is convenient and their wifi is great. They have a direct flight to Wichita which is also nice. Get there early and look at your boarding pass for the gate as a couple of times, the gate listed on the marquis in the airport has been wrong.
LindaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Once you’re past security, you have to take the tram to your gate area. It’s quick and easy.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
If you have any trouble walking, ask for a wheelchair. They are very nice and FAST.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
Super easy to park in the Economy Lot #1 and take the shuttle to the terminal.
MariaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
I dont think any of local airlines now offering food for flying under 4 hours, so if you fly with kids or during your lunch/dinner time. Pack your own food or you will only get tiny bag of pretzels or peas during your trip.
PatriciaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
Seattle is a huge complicated airport. Allow time to change gates if your passing through. And to get thru TSA and to your gate can take time
NoahFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jun 2026
They may offer to gate check your rolling luggage for free at SeaTac if full flight.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2026
Do your best to make this trip without checking any luggage.
Christopher RyanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
Be ready for the heat, wear comfortable clothing
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
Be prepared to have a very difficult time checking in if you are not technology savvy. I could not figure out how to check in. It made me scan with my phone to check in, but I couldn’t figure out how to do it and then an employer was there pushed buttons on the kiosk and printed up a boarding pass. Where did customer service go?! and then, we had to wait in a huge long long long line just to drop off the bag. Be certain you give yourself extra time for all of this chaos. Flying is getting worse and worse every time I fly.
NoahFlew with Alaska Airlines-Aug 2026
JFK airport was really hard to navigate, and security line took nearly 45 minutes; we nearly missed our connection to fly from JFK to San Paulo, Brazil.
MaryFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
Also there is a lot of walking always make sure you have enough time in between flights get situated on your gate and tsa then use the restroom and snacks it helps alot
JerryFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
Bring your own entertainment or download a movie on your computer/tablet ahead of time.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Apr 2026
Be prepared to have your carryon forced to be checked luggage which will add to the time if you have connecting flights and want to get your carry on for your longer trip
GeraldFlew with Delta-Mar 2026
Flights earlier in the day are better - less chance of stacking delays. Much better than SFO flights, They're terrible in August (fog).
AndrewFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2026
If you are using ride share (uber, lyft) start the process right away as the wait can be long.

Be sure your actually getting window seats before paying extra fees.

Bring your own food on the plane. Don't expect much.

If you're not in 1st class, you'll want a seat cushion. We were in comfort extra and both had sore tailbones. Seats very uncomfortable after a couple of hours.
Putri ArumFlew with Japan Airlines-Mar 2026
Bring your own foods. There should also be a disclaimer on the ticket that foods will not be provided although this is a relatively long flight.
DebraFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2026
Seattle TSA much improved. Faster service. Baggage check-in ok. I'm sure will get faster as people get used to it.
RickFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jan 2026
Seattle customs is easy. No crowds. Another big hike. Wear walking shoes.
ChristineFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Dec 2025
Arrive early to go through security unless you have TSA pre check and/or CLEAR
rsmrostovFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jan 2026
If you have a small personal bag and a personal item you will be hustled to consolidate snacks on the flight of very poor so bring your own food and if you have an Android phone you likely will have issues connecting to Wi-Fi on the plane especially if the connection was dropped in the middle of watching a movie and then you attempt to reinstate it sometimes you have to clear browsing history and cookies becomes painful
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jul 2025
Flying Alaska is great you just need to hours ahead to check in to TSA but other than that it felt safe and assured.
MarisaFlew with American Airlines-Jun 2025
Take Alaska Airlines - Clear was great to have at both airports, especially seattle where there was a large security line
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2025
Give yourself extra time. Love the self check in options.

Ask for headphones to watch screen movies as all of mine are bluetooth and that will not work. Bring own food and wait until plane moves before hooking up to Deltawifi.
Verified travelerFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jun 2025
Make sure to be there on time because the bag drop off can be a little complicated and it takes quite some time to get to the gate.
MichelleFlew with Hawaiian Airlines-Jun 2025
Flights in the late afternoon and evenings are often delayed, just be prepared for that.
Verified travelerFlew with Scandinavian Airlines-Jun 2025
Be prepared for a long layover. Direct flights to Medford are slim.

Order ahead or bring own meal on plane
Verified travelerFlew with Frontier-Jun 2025
Wish I had known the seats were so uncomfortable. Wish I had known checked bags and carry on bags were 75 each. Wish I didn't have to wait so long in line with only one clerk working. Wish I had known we were going to have to take a bus from the gate to our airplane. Wish I had known the seat space is smaller than any other airline I have flown. I do not recommend Frontier.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Mar 2025
Alaska Air is very efficient & on-time so allow enough time to get luggage, go thru Customs & Immigration, & long security lines. Terminals in SEA are readily accessible by trains but more signage is needed. Fortunately, Information booths are everywhere & are manned by very helpful staff.
ShuraFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2025
Don’t . Delta has all the gates together for easy transfers and much more food and beverage selection
MichaelFlew with Delta-Apr 2025
Train from Denver airport to downtown is easy to use.

If you have a rental car, give yourself time to catch the shuttle to the airport. Also be aware traffic is awful and will often be standstill on the way to the airport.
JanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Apr 2025
Again snacks unless you want to eat prior or order ahead of time for flight. Wear layers as usually warm or as my case a little cool.
SuzetteFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
Take a shower before arriving at airport and don't wear perfume at all! Pack bags tight, so boarding is smooth and quick.
AngelFlew with Alaska Airlines-Mar 2025
Fly into a different city with more options for departure times. Not to have a six hour layover.
DanielFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
Seatac has gnarly traffic right now, took 35min to get from highway exit to the terminal
AllieFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2025
If you can, arrive at airport no sooner than 4 hours before flight.
RobertFlew with United Airlines-Mar 2025
If you’re picking up a rental car it’s not very clear that you have to take the train. Signage can be improved at SFO.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025
My advise to customers is to make sure there’s at least 1 hour during layover as delays and gates can add to stressful circumstances as you rush to meet your connecting flight
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Dec 2024
Be courteous of your fellow travelers. Remember the carry on baggage rules. Keep your jackets out of the storage bin on full flights. Don't move other people's luggage from one bin to another. Step out of the isle as quickly as you can. Be sure you're in the seat(s) assigned to you.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-Jan 2025
Be careful about directions. Best to ask representatives about proper gate.
OksanaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Feb 2025
Arrive early, the registration kiosks may not work and registration will take more than an hour.
DanaFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2024
That was my first time flying Milwaukee to Seattle & vice versa. I think we choose a good airline. Seattle’s traffic & airport is busier than Milwaukee so get there at least 2 hours early. Download & keep an eye on the Alaska airline app for flight info updates.

SeaTac lets you make an appointment to get through security. SpotSaver. No cost. Online.
KimberleyFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
Pack snacks and patience. Ear plugs or noise-cancelling headphones are a must!
SusFlew with Delta-Nov 2024
I wish that I had known how to connect with the wi-fi; I had set up an acct almost two years ago. Not information that I remembered. Bring healthy snacks if diabetic. Wear compression socks if needed as it is a long flight. If older and wearing pull-up depends be aware that it will set off TSA alarms as will foil packs of medications in your luggage! If experiencing any difficulty with walking or shortness of breath...ask for a wheelchair ...it made a world of difference in Atlanta!
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Oct 2024
TSA lines in Seattle can get very long early in the day. Also, plan to return your rental car early since you have to take a shuttle bus to the terminal and those lines can get long early in the day, too. Currently there is construction in the North Terminal, so be prepared for moving around barriers. The day I flew out, the escalators were not working.
BarbFlew with Delta-Sep 2024
Try not to get to the airport too early. We came off of a cruise and had a 6 hour wait. Unlike MSP, SEATAC didn’t have free WiFi. But, McDonald’s did. And the three hours before the flight we used the Delta Lounge which is always amazing.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Sep 2024
Bring your own food or eat before boarding. Get to that airport 3 hours early for a domestic flight, the TSC screening line was 45 minutes long and if you have to walk to the other side of the terminal you might have to run.
JoanFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
SeaTac should add sand to the painted floor from the terminal to the light rail. It is VARY slippery when wet and the northwest (Seattle) is known for rain.

DeanneFlew with Southwest-Sep 2024
It’s a big airport ask where your gate is
ReidFlew with United Airlines-Oct 2024
SeaTac does not have a very good or equitable system for security lines. First class passengers don’t have a TSA precheck option, while there are only 2 TSA precheck lines on opposite sides of the terminal. Highly recommend getting TSA plus Clear, as the airport heavily favors this combination, with each section of the terminal having one of these options. I almost missed my flight because the only TSA precheck line was about 45 minutes long.
GregFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
Now that Southwest doesn't fly in and out of Bellingham Washington there are no good options to Seattle. You're best off driving or getting a shuttle, it's much more likely you'll get to Seattle near the time you think you will. Flying is just not a dependable option anymore.
BruceFlew with Alaska Airlines-Nov 2024
Tight interline connection at LAX - barely made the flight. Directions from AS arrival gate to separate AA commuter terminal for AS codeshare flight connecting to TUS would have been nice.

Generally Alaska Airlines have very friendly and helpful people in my experience. They don’t have TVs in all planes so make sure to download their app if you want entertainment on the plane.
Verified travelerFlew with Alaska Airlines-Jul 2024
Fill or buy a bottle with screw on cap with water for flight. If you have to get up and down it can be placed behind the seat in of you.

When flying from Seattle to Denver, be ready to take our any electronics and put them in separate bins when going through security. You will also most likely have to take off your jacket as well. During our flight back the flight randomly changed so be on the lookout in case that happens to you! It was by chance that I checked my ticket and saw that the gate changed last minute.
ElaineFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
If you have any metal in your body (e.g., spinal fusion screws) make sure you get in the line for the TSA security screening booth that makes you stand on the yellow marks with your arms over your head. I wish I had known this before I wasted time in the alternate line with the walk-through detector.
BrentFlew with Alaska Airlines-May 2024
Seattle is a cluster, too. You have to enter at one end of the terminal to check bags, walk to the other end of the terminal for non-Pre-TSA security checks, then back again to the starting end fir the boarding gates.
Verified travelerFlew with Air Canada-May 2024
If you are a solo traveler with intentions to not check bags then bring a flexible bag or smaller suitcase in case they put you on the small and dirty planes for your short connections.

The noise level at Paine field is low so you can actually hear the announcements. Seating is comfortable and there is a small coffee/ snack area which I was not expecting. Flight on Alaska was pleasant except for a little turbulence. Not crowded!! It was a 5 plus hour trip but very relaxed

Alaska is a great airline and price is great, but be flexible on time. Pack a lunch and bring a water bottle to fill up beyond the check point…
LaurenFlew with Delta-Feb 2024
If you have kids, bring your own screens. We were counting on the inflight entertainment and it was a definite letdown. Also, TSA Pre-check is only available at station 2, but wait times are posted at each station so you can see if it’s worth the walk.

Departure time was perfect After landing we had to wait for 15 min for aircraft to park, please improve upon it.

Free tmobile wifi was great! Crew was efficient and friendly. Crew gate checked our luggage and let us board in group C because of it. Loved that! The best part was that our family (3) was seated together. Thank you so much!!!!!

Delays. Again. Haven’t had a good experience out of Seattle in most flights. The flight was delayed and passengers were all bunched in one area even after the doors closed when there were tons of empty seats. Attendants chastised passengers for wanting to move and even embarrassed one man for telling him tons of the empty seats were actually premium seating and he needed to go back to the back of the plane the seats have been getting increasingly uncomfortable and the snacks are terrible if you get one. No options for people who don’t/can’t eat sweets. Prices keep going up and amenities and service keep dropping. Air travel has become more like taking a very expensive bus.

As a deaf person I appreciate the assistance provided by the boarding staff and the flight attendants.

WiFi did not work for the flight. Crew were polite but kept asking me to move my bag even after it had been moved to the preferred position previously and not moved since. I had a winter jacket as well and they changed their minds multiple times about where I was allowed to keep it.

My experience was great with Alaska Airlines. Fantastic customer care

People were friendly and helpful, and even under stress of a short time between connecting flights, kept their equanimity.

Good seating and leg room. Able to choose seat. Nice crew, polite and helpful. Nice snacks. Meals have to be pre ordered, short flight do no meal required.

No complaints. Nothing for entertainment, but it's a regional smaller body aircraft, not a longer range long body. Didn't partake in any snacks, mainly slept for the whole short flight. Got me to A to B as intended.

I reserved exit row as I am 6’7” and was very disappointed to find out that my seats were as crammed together as the rest of the plane. Worse actually, as the seats don’t recline. I believe I paid an additional $200 apiece. What do I get for that? I guess it’s on me that I didn’t do the research to know this in advance but I’m tired of buying airfare which used to include an actual seat on the plane and now it is an additional charge. I think the seats I purchased are sold at a premium by deception by people like me that think these are desirable. Got forbid there’s an incident and passengers have to escape through these tiny passages. Love to travel but have to reconsider future trips because of the dishonesty of your industry. Have always had good experience in the past with Alaska but now I have soured. Thank you very little, Dean Jones.

dropped my bags at Seattle Delta curbside. 1.5 hours before departure. one bag oversized made it. the other was left at curb and mishandled. poor communication from delta in sjc baggage claim. No internet on flight and food choices in business are horrible. You are forcing us to fly Alaska which is shockingly better than the Delta experience. that is a low bar.

Delta is the best. It was all very easy and on time.

Delay from Atlanta to Tampa was simply unacceptable. Multiple delays led to us landing after 3am. Worst travel experience of my life

I somehow thought my food preferences was saved to my account— everything had dairy and couldn’t eat anything.

Comfortable seats. Nice service online. Short flight, so not a lot of time to enjoy.

The flight was done by SkyWest only WIFI no entertainment center are available on the CRJ

Everything worked smoothly, never had a concern with the flight from start to finish.

My flight was delayed by 4 hours in 30 minute increments. The gate agents were amazing but the communication was not. We were told that there was a maintenance issue but they didn't know what it was. That didn't inspire confidence. Then they said they found it and it was fixed and the pilot just needed to sign off. Then the pilot needed to talk to the other pilot from the arriving flight and we'd be fine. Then we were waiting for the pilot to call back. Then the maintenance issue wasn't fixed. Then they decided we were getting a new plane (why didn't they decide this earlier??). Fine. But then they announced we were changing gates AND terminals. And we were boarding in 20 minutes. So we all had to run to the new terminal gate. We could have taken off at that time, but we then had to wait for all the people who rebooked on a different flight to book this flight again. That took 30+ minutes because there was only one gate agent. When everyone ditched this flight, I saw it as an opportunity to upgrade to comfort. Delta, the greedy jerks they are, charged me $121. After their delay, their fault, their issues, couldn't even discount an upgrade. They only handed out $12 meal vouchers for the delay. I can't even get a snack from starbucks for that.

Love me some Delta. One of the few airlines to recognize and support veterans. Easy boarding, flight was on time and arrived early and the flight attendants were excellent on this flight.

We sat on the runway for over an hour before departure. That was unwelcome.
