Arriving at the airport
After landing, follow the signs towards baggage collection and the public arrivals area. Keep your booking details, accommodation address and identification easy to reach. If you are meeting a driver, check the agreed meeting instructions before leaving the building, as pick-up arrangements can vary. The airport or your transport provider can confirm the current meeting point and any access rules.
Finding your way out of arrivals
Once you have collected your luggage, follow signs for ground transport and the public exit. Pre-booked passengers should look for the meeting point listed in their confirmation rather than approaching people offering unsolicited rides. If you need help, airport information staff can direct you to the available transport areas and confirm current arrangements.
Getting into town
Private transfer: A pre-booked car is useful if you want a driver waiting after baggage collection, are carrying bulky luggage or prefer a direct trip to your accommodation. Share your arrival details accurately and check the provider’s instructions before travelling.
Taxi: Taxis offer a direct option without advance planning. Use the authorised pick-up area and confirm the destination before setting off. Check the current fare arrangements with the airport or taxi provider.
Public transport: Public transport can suit light luggage and flexible travellers. Routes and services may change, so check the airport or local transport authority for current stops, fares and operating details before leaving arrivals.
Hire car: A hire car gives you flexibility for trips beyond Seattle, but consider parking, traffic and navigation before booking. Check collection instructions, driving requirements and insurance terms with the hire car provider.

Flying home
Leave your accommodation with enough time for traffic, finding the vehicle pick-up point and completing airport procedures. Allow extra margin if you are travelling during a busy period, returning a hire car or carrying checked luggage. Check your airline’s current guidance and the airport’s latest information before setting out, since recommended arrival arrangements can vary.
