 Located right at the center of
the main terminal by Marianne2, 4 more photos
This is a combination wine bar (photo #2), wine-tasting salon, and retail store (photo #3) where fine wines can be purchased to take aboard the aircraft (it’s located after Security). It also serves light “small plates” of gourmet items that pair well with its fine wine offerings. These small plates offer much more inventive alternatives to a BurgerKing or chili dog or awful airport pizza slice. Instead, we find smoked salmon rolls ($10), a Tuscan chicken focaccia sandwich with pesto and roasted red peppers ($8), duck confit salad ($12), or artisan cheese plates ($8). These are also available packaged – “gourmet grab-and-go” (photo #4).
The wine selection is offered by the glass or bottle, with “flights” a common way to experience a variety of tastes of several wines. It’s a great place to learn about some boutique Pacific Northwest wines, as well as sampling a good selection of worldwide wines. A glass costs from $7 to $39, for a very fine Château Latour. Tastings of three select wines are about $7 to $21.
It’s also a fine place to hang out with your newspaper or laptop – indulge in the airport’s WiFi, sit in the leather seats at pleasant tables, or sit at the bar, where the engaging bartender du jour will be happy to brief you on wines (Eric on this day, photo #5). This is a quiet, upscale spot for those who appreciate the finer aspects of wining and light dining.
Vino Volo is a newish chain started by Taste Incorporated of San Francisco. There are several other US airports with these wine bars, which are open at, or coming soon, to: SFO, JFK, Baltimore, Sacramento, Dulles/Washington, Detroit, and Philadelphia.

the fastest connection from europe to seattle is SAS that flies daily from copenhagen to seattle.
because both cities are located fairly north it's a faster flight than the other european connections.
not bad if you are not keen on long flights or need to save time. Leave a Comment

 From the airport website by travelfrosch
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION is not renowned for its reliability in this part of the USA, but several buses depart the Airport for various destinations in Seattle. Fare is $1.25. Private van service is also available to various destinations in the area. Check the website for route and schedule details.
For DRIVERS, Sea-Tac is just off Interstate 5 between Seattle and Tacoma, at Mile 154. Parking at the airport is quite expensive ($22/day, $99/week), though a number of nearby private parking lots offer shuttle service to the airport for significantly less ($7-$12/day).
RENTAL CARS are on-site, for the most part, in the parking garage across the street from the terminal. Additional budget rental agencies offer complimentary bus service to their lots.

For most visitors, Seattle Tacoma International Airport is where they arrive. If one is flying from a U.S. city to Seattle, one may consider one of the newer low cost airlines, such as Southwest, JetBlue, or ATA-American Trans. Alaska Airlines has a good
reputation and flies to Alaska, California, and the Pacific Northwest to Seattle. Recently, it has begun service to Boston, Washington, and Denver from Seattle.
Once you arrive, you can take the 175 bus ($1.75 to downtown Seattle, the bus stops on the lower level -
walk in the direction of car traffic and the bus stop is about 100m / 100 yards past the end of the building). I saw Grey Line buses to downtown Seattle hotels advertised for $8.50. One can also rent a car from the several companies located in the parking garage or from off-airport companies.
Seattle is long and narrow in shape. This adds to traffic jams. On the other hand, a car is
necessary unless one is visiting downtown, Belltown, the Seattle Center, or International District. For these areas, parking is difficult to find or is expensive. Bus service is reasonably good between downtown and the centers of most neighborhoods. The bus company for Everett is Community Transit. They probably have a website. The bus company website for Seattle is supposed to be http://transit.metrokc.gov but I have not visited that website Leave a Comment Theme: Airplane

Seattle-Tacoma International airport is located just south of Seattle. Very convenient to Tacoma, Bellevue, Seattle & surrounding areas. Taxi's & shuttle services will take you to most Seattle & Bellevue hotels. Best to rent a car for other surrounding locations.
You can walk most anywhere downtown Seattle proper. Lots of hills. The monorail will transport you from downtown to the Seattle Center area (Queen Anne) in minutes. The bus system is good to most outlying larger cities. Theme: Airplane

Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) is located twenty miles south of downtown Seattle, halfway to Tacoma (hence the name). It is a very good airport in general. From most US/Canadian cities it is at most one transfer away; there are direct flights from Europe (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, Moscow), Asia (Seoul, Taipei, Tokyo) and Mexico. Most planes arrive at gates on the Main Terminal - except United, which arrive on the North Satellite, and Northwest, as well as all International Arrivals, which arrive on the South Satellite. Underground trains link the satellites with the Main Terminal. Leave a Comment
