[edit] Delta Airlines SEA-DFW
I added Dallas as a destination from Seattle with Delta Airlines. I'm sure Delta Airlines offers this flight.
UPDATE ... Nevermind it's a codeshare flight with Alaska Airlines.
[edit] Air Canada Access
When I went through Seatac, for some reason, even though I was flying Air Canada, I was routed through United Airlines to check my baggage. My AC Flight Boarding pass was printed on a United Background. Anyone know why this is or was? I flew in 2004.-Delta Spartan 23:41, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- I'm guessing that Air Canada doesn't have facilities there. Airlines often have their partners handle services at some airports to save money. Since SEA is a major airport for United, they probably handle Air Canada's ground services. I've experienced the same situation flying KLM from Rome (handled by Alitalia) Dbinder 23:52, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
- Air Canada is a Star Alliance partner with United. I believe United handles AC's ground operations at SEA. Aep 00:07, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Northwest KOA-SEA
I was looking at the current Northwest timetable and it shows a non-stop daily flight from KOA to SEA. But no service, non-stop or direct from SEA to KOA. Anyone know what is up? 24.113.22.73 07:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
- Looking at [1] I see that NWA 094 from Kona (KOA) via Maui arrives at Seattle at 5.51a... Aep 17:45, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
- I just looked at the Northwest Airlines timetable and here's the schedule I see. Flight 95 Minneapolis - Seattle - Maui. Flight 94 Maui - Kona - Seattle - Minneapolis. Both flights are on 757-300s, and the schedule is right for the same plane to make both flights.
- If you are flying to Hawaii, I would suggest flying United or Hawaiian. A seat one inch wider does not sound like much, but it makes a huge difference in comfort on a 4+ hour flight.
[edit] Focus City
is SEA still a United Airlines focus city? KSEA 05:34, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deleted reference to "not a major international hub"
I deleted a sentence that said despite Seatac's large volume, it is not a major international hub. While it pales in comparison the largest international hubs in the world, most large US airports service 90%+ domestic flights. With direct flights to Tokyo, Seoul, Taipei, London, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, and others, Seatac actually has more international connectivity than many American airports its size.
[edit] Default airport in Flight simulator 2004
KSEA was made the default Airport in flight simulator 2004. Nothing else to be said about that. Nitweet 13:54, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Nonstop Destinations, Passenger Aircraft Serving and other edits
I removed both the Nonstop Destinations and Passenger Aircraft Serving sections from the article. The destinations listed by each airline are non-stop so it’s redundant to have two sections listing the same information. The reason for removing Passenger Aircraft Serving section is that it has been discussed before that it would be too much work to keep up an accurate list of each aircraft each airline uses at each airport and such lists are currently not part of the standard airport layout from the Wikipedia:WikiProject Airports. Couple of other changes, US Airways no longer flies SEA-PIT at all, so I removed that listing. KSEA 08:27, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
- Just wanted to note that I re-added SEA-PIT because it has been stated by US Airways that this is to be a seasonal service, and is in fact returning this summer. NW036 17:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Alaska SEA-CMH
Please don't add Columbus as a destination served by Alaska Airlines from Seattle. There is no press release announcing a new route and the route is not listed in the online schedule on Alaska's website. In addition, it is highly unlikely that Alaska would add a route on such short notice given that just today they announced two new routes from Portland that are not starting on September 7th, 2007. KSEA 21:45, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Added "Direct" (non-nonstop) International Flights
While I'm not sure I like the policy, WikiProjects Airport indicate that "direct" flights (not-necessarily non-stop) should be listed under the direct flights list. Using this standard, I added three flights which stop in one city, but continue on to an international destination under the same flight number, and what appears to be the same airplane:
Northwest from Mumbai (Flight 33, via Amsterdam) Alaska from Mexico City (Flight 245, via LAX) United from Mexico City (Flight 820, via SFO)
65.201.149.123 15:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- I've removed the UA Mexico City service because it involves a plane change at SFO. FCYTravis 17:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Discontinued Service
Is there a need for the discontinued service section? This is inconsistent through different airports and in my opinion really isn't necessary. If it's deemed useful I'll add it to other airports as well. NW036 16:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I agree with NW036...I also think that this section is unnecessary Sox23 19:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
- Agee, it is not necessary KSEA 05:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Would anyone have a problem if I removed it? Sox23 16:22, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to ask here since we already started discussing this, but several other airports (SAN and RDU for example) have a similar section on past airlines. Any thoughts? I just see it as another inconsistency that should be spread or removed depending on what people think. NW036 21:26, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- NW036- you should probably bring this up at the discussion page for WP:Airports...I think this would be better posted there because users as a whole could see the topic in discussion rather than those just looking at the SEA talk page...in my opinion I think they should all be removed because they serve no purpose...Sox23 22:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NWA Focus City
The Northwest Airlines timetable lists SeaTac as an International Gateway, so i'm adding the sentence back but changing it from Focus City to International Gateway. KSEA 04:24, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
- International gateway is fine...probably because NWA has service to Amsterdam, Mumbai, Seoul-Incheon, and Tokyo-Narita. An international gateway is not the same as a focus city so what is in the article now is fine. I like your solution. Sox23 23:31, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] "US ended airline deregulation" -> regulation
"In 1978, the US ended airline deregulation." Shouldn't this be "regulation" instead of "deregulation"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dustywilson (talk • contribs) 21:29, 16 March 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Gate assignments
Is it necessary to list every gate assignment for every airline in every terminal? This seems a little excessive, not to mention subject to change. It assumes that every flight will park at the gate listed every day without interruption. LAX, PHL, JFK...none of these airports list the precise gates. I'm suggesting that they be removed. No offense to Beyondweird who listed them. Thedjb 00:40, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
