The train station on Concourse B has reopened on the Satellite Transit loop between the Main Terminal and the South Satellite. The new stop enables passengers making connections between South Satellite and Concourse B airlines to take the train directly to satellite or concourse, cutting transit and walking time.

Tired Feet? You Can “Shuttle” the Between North and South at Sea-Tac Airport

Getting from one end of the airport to another at Sea-Tac can be a bit of a hike, but not if you take the "shuttle” between the Main Terminal Transit Station at the south end of the airport and the Main Terminal Transit Station at the north.

Both transit stations are behind security and are accessible only to ticketed passengers. The shuttle service enables travelers to get from one end of the airport to the other without exiting a secured area. Additionally, passengers can transfer from the Main Station trains to the trains taking them to the North and South Satellite gates.

Passengers who like to walk and/or shop, may choose to walk from one end to the other; all concourses are now connected and passengers can move freely without leaving the secured area.
