It’s possible to walk between Concourses A, B, C, and D; to reach the satellite terminals, passengers need to ride the Satellite Transit System.

Best Credit Cards To Access Priority Pass Lounges

A Priority Pass Select membership can really enhance your airport experience. Instead of waiting at the gate for your plane to board, you can kick your feet up and relax while enjoying free food and drinks. Better yet, you’ll be able to do this in over 1,400 airport lounges worldwide — including 2 Priority Pass lounge locations at SEA.

Our favorite credit card for Priority Pass access is the Chase Sapphire Reserve^®.

If the Chase Sapphire Reserve card doesn’t seem like a good fit for you, you could opt for the Amex Platinum card; it offers access to several other airport lounge networks like Amex Centurion Lounges and Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta).

Want to weigh all of your options? Here are some of the credit cards that offer access to Priority Pass lounges (enrollment may be required):

Amex Business Platinum card
Citi Prestige^® Card
Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant^® American Express^® Card
U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite^® Card

Final Thoughts

There are some great options when it comes to airline lounges at SEA. Relax with a drink and admire the distant Olympic and Cascade Mountains that are visible on a clear day, and aviation geeks will love the excellent views of the airfield that many lounges provide.
