冬季旅行小贴士

从 SEA 机场出发的冬季假日旅行提示

Last Updated: November 19, 2025

在这个繁忙的冬季假日季节，为您往返西雅图-塔科马国际机场的旅行做好准备，让您更方便、更快捷地到达目的地。

西雅图-塔科马国际机场（SEA）预计，今年将是该机场历史上最繁忙的感恩节旅行期之一，预计机场总客流量将达到或略高于 2019 年的水平，比 2022 年的水平高出 11%。旅客还将注意到更多的施工。机场的SEA 升级计划目前正在进行中，从路边到登机口都有改进项目。新售票区和新安检检查站的建设会对整个机场的售票和行李提取产生溢出影响。

尝试Spot Saver等新技术，并在遇到施工时灵活应对，从而享受压力更小、更可预测的旅行。SEA 不断增加新的服务，使旅行更加无障碍，改善旅行体验，超越《美国残疾人法案》的要求。请查看SEA Social Story，它是专为自闭症等感官敏感的旅客开发的，同时也非常适合儿童使用。flySEA 应用程序上的互动地图提供无障碍路线指示。最重要的一点是，国内航班应在登机时间至少两小时前到达机场，国际航班应在登机时间至少三小时前到达机场。如果您需要停车或托运行李，请额外增加时间。

First 90 minutes free in General Parking

Make airport pick-up and drop-off easier this holiday season. Get your first 90 minutes free in General Parking November 24-30 and December 22-28, 7 p.m. to midnight only. This option allows you to avoid congestion on the drives and head straight out from the airport parking garage. Reserved Parking for Thanksgiving week is selling fast, and those planning ahead should reserve now for December holiday travel. In addition, be sure to use the parking guidance system with the red and green availability lights to find an open stall more quickly.

从数字上看

From Wednesday, November 26 to Monday, December 1, just over 900,000 travelers will travel through SEA. Passenger traffic is estimated to be up 1% from 2024 over the entire holiday period, which begins next Thursday, November 20 and ends Monday, December 1. The busiest days are projected to be:

  • Sunday, November 30 — 180,000 estimated overall travelers (arriving, departing, and connecting)
  • Wednesday, November 26 — 170,000 passengers
  • Monday, December 1 — 166,000 passengers

请早起的鸟儿和夜猫子们注意了：东南亚机场每天有超过三分之一的旅客在上午 9:00 之前抵达机场，这将导致 TSA 安检站和行车道上的繁忙状况。下午 2:00-5:00 和晚上 9:00-11:00 也是两个高峰期。

减轻假日旅行压力的小窍门

  • Arrive early. Avoid feeling rushed — get to the terminal at least two hours before your boarding time for a domestic flight and three hours before an international flight. Factor in the time you need to travel from off-site parking or drop-offs to the terminal. More than one-third of SEA’s daily passenger volume arrives at the airport before 9:00 a.m., causing busy conditions on the airport drives and at TSA security checkpoints. Two more peak periods occur from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. and from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m.
  • Take advantage of SEA Spot Saver. Secure a spot in line to make the security checkpoint process easier. Checkpoint wait times are currently not available online, on the flySEA App, or in the terminal, but staff in green can guide you to the best queue for you. Use SEA’s interactive map for directions to the checkpoints, your gate, a favorite restaurant, or amenities.
  • Avoid traffic. Bypass the congested Arrivals and Departures drives by using public transportation, airport parking, rideshare, taxi/limo, scheduled airporter, door-to-door van service, or a shuttle option. When picking someone up, briefly park in the SEA Airport parking garage, entering from the International Boulevard entrance to meet arriving travelers in the terminal, then exit together through the garage without ever using the drives. You can even pick up a coffee while you’re waiting!
  • Think opposite. If you choose to use the drives, use the lower Arrivals drive instead of the upper Departures drive during peak morning hours, and vice versa if you’re picking someone up in the evening. Or use whichever lane is moving faster — they all go to the same terminal.
  • Head straight to security. Check in for your flight ahead of time and download or print your boarding pass. Review your airline’s baggage policies, and if you don’t need to check a bag, head straight to the security checkpoints.
  • Try a social story for help traveling. The SEA Airport Social Story and Resource Guide is designed for travelers with autism or other invisible disabilities to repeatedly review with their family or caregivers prior to travel.

避免最常见的假日旅行烦恼

  • 安全乘坐 SEA 自动扶梯。 在海运大楼，平均每天有一人在自动扶梯上摔倒，每周有一到两人需要寻求医疗救助。海运大楼有近 100 部自动扶梯，是华盛顿州拥有自动扶梯最多的设施。观看海运大楼安全小组的视频，了解如何确保您和同行人员的安全。
  • 锁好车门，不要将贵重物品放在视线范围内。 随时保管好您的行李和随身物品。抵达后直接前往行李领取处，如果发现任何可疑活动，请拨打 911。
  • 请勿在机场车道路肩停车。 等待接机的司机应将车辆临时停放在 SEA改造后的手机停车场。路肩停车，即使是短暂停车，也是危险和非法的；违者将受到处罚。西雅图港警方正与华盛顿州巡警合作，在节假日期间进行重点巡逻。
  • 妥善托运枪支或将其留在家中。 运输安全管理局规定，旅客只能将弹药和未上膛的枪支放在上锁的硬壳容器中作为托运行李运输。出门前请检查您的行李，确保您没有携带枪支、枪支部件和/或弹药。
