Sea-Tac released to KIRO 7 News what they expect to be the busiest days for the December holiday season:
- Thursday, Dec. 22 (134,152)
- Friday, Dec. 23 (136,107 passengers)
- Friday Dec. 30 (135,220)
The number is double this time last year. Travelers are advised to get to the airport at least two hours early and to not wrap their gifts.
But a Sea-Tac spokesperson says that the holidays are not the busiest times at Sea-Tac. August has the most passengers, followed by July and June because of summer and cruise season.
Sea-Tac is seeing more people using ride-sharing services like Uber and Lyft to get to the airport.
