Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) set a record with over 52.7 million passengers in 2025.

How to check SEA Airport flight status
You can check the status of an arriving or departing flight using the SEA flight-status search on Way.
To find a flight:
- Select Arriving or Departing.
- Choose the airline, enter the flight number, or search by city.
- Review the listed flight status, scheduled time, gate, and other available information.
If you are picking someone up at SEA, search under Arriving and use the traveler’s flight number or origin and destination airport codes. If you are flying out of Seattle, select Departing and search using your flight number or airline.
SEA arrivals and departures
Knowing whether you are checking an arrival or departure is especially important when meeting someone at SEA or monitoring a connecting flight.
For departing passengers: We recommend flyers arrive at least two hours before domestic flights and at least three hours before international flights, with additional time for transportation during peak travel season. If you're dropping someone off, the live SeaTac Airport flight status helps you time your arrival at the Departures Drive.
For arriving passengers: Flight status can help you determine whether a family member, friend, or business traveler is expected to arrive on time. Remember that a flight’s status can change while it is in the air, so continue checking for updates. The live SeaTac Airport flight status can help you time your arrival at the Cell Phone Lot, where drivers can wait up to 20 minutes.
Checking SEA flight status for connecting flights
SEA flight status matters most when SEA is one stop on a longer trip. If you are taking a domestic connection after arriving on an international flight, check both flights and build in enough time between them when booking. SEA recommends allowing 120–180 minutes between an international arrival and a connecting flight to account for customs and security processing. SEA has a dedicated International Arrivals Facility designed to improve the international arrival and connection experience.
