Airport Information
Seattle (SEA)
Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, commonly referred to as Sea-Tac, serves as the primary gateway for the Pacific Northwest and is a major hub for Alaska Airlines and Delta Air Lines. Known for its extensive art collection and the Central Terminal’s massive glass wall overlooking the runways, the airport offers travelers a variety of local dining options, including fresh seafood and world-renowned coffee. It is conveniently located about 14 miles south of downtown Seattle, accessible via the Link Light Rail.
Tampa (TPA)
Tampa International Airport is consistently ranked as one of the most traveler-friendly airports in the United States due to its intuitive 'Landside/Airside' design that minimizes walking distances. Upon arrival, passengers are greeted by the iconic giant flamingo sculpture, 'Phoebe,' in the main terminal. The airport is situated just six miles west of downtown Tampa and offers easy access to popular destinations like Clearwater Beach, St. Petersburg, and the historic Ybor City district via rental cars, rideshares, or the Hillsborough Area Regional Transit system.
