Sea-Tac Arrivals and Meetups?

journies_end

Seeing the airport-to-downtown Light Rail info thread prompted me to make an Airport Arrival thread so if anyone wanted meet and greet and ride the Light Rail (a 40 min trip so I've gathered), share a taxi, catch a bus, hitch a ride, or just say "hi" they can post their airport arrival times and transportation info here.

I'll be arriving in Seattle on Thursday evening, 9pm (from Charlotte NC if anyone will be on that flight also!) and will be taking the Light Rail downtown to the Red Lion Hotel. Dunno if anyone else was headed that way at that hour but if you wanted to ride together and get pumped for PAX, chat gaming, or maybe share a quick DS game or two (Mario Kart, Dragon Quest 9, Pokemon, Jump Ultimate Stars) or a simple Pokewaker swap that'd be awesome.

mspencer

I'd love to get in on this, but didn't want to clutter up the westward aviation thread with info unrelated to meeting up with people during flights as opposed to after.

I'm arriving Thursday at 8:58 AM on Delta 2253.

TOGSolid

Alaska Airlines flight AS178 at 3:09 PM, Thursday. I'll be heading to the Hilton Seattle next to the convention center if anyone wants to share a cab or whatever.

fRAWRst

Thursday flight via Air Canada for an 11 am arrival. My hotel is the QualityInn across from the airport, but im down to rail to the sheraton for will call and hanging out that night.

imp22b

AA flight 835 from Indy to Dallas/ Fort Worth then AA flight 326 from Dallas/ Fort Worth to Seattle. Arriving Sept, 1 @ 7:45 PM. Taking Light Rail to the Sheraton

linkinwisdom

@ journies_end I would but I arrive at like 11 am on thur...tho i am staying in your hotel...we should meet up at some point and kick it

Clix

I'm tempted to bribe somebody flying into SEATAC to get me some Chilis.

We only have one Chilis restraunt in the Seattle area, and it just happens to be behind security in the airport. So unless you have a boarding pass, no Chilis for you.

I haven't had any honey-chipotle chicken crispers in over a year....

Haha the lobby will be swarming (especially during the mornings between 8am - 10am) as THOUSANDS of PAX attendees flock to the convention center (it really is a spectacle)! Sure tho, if you wanna meet up for the morning cue it'd be nice to have a line buddy to chat with

That depends if you're driving? I arrive at 11:45 am on Thursday. It is perfect timing for lunch.
A little bit of food and gas money for the convenience and help?

I'm not exactly sure when we're arriving, but we depart at 8:40a.m. from San Francisco, so maybe we'll be arriving the same time on Thursday. If so, look for three dudes trying to find their way to the light rail.

edit: Make a Futurama reference and I'll instantly know.

lemongrenades

I arrive at Sea-Tac at 1:56 PM on Wednesday the first via flight F9 0833 from Denver. That's the plan, anyway.

aja

I'll be arriving around 6:30 at sea-tac and ill be staying at Paramount. pm me if you guys want to do something

Sassafras

Arriving Thursday, 9/2, at 3:01 P.M. Delta Flight 3368. I was planning to take the light rail already, and meeting up with some people would be cool. I'm going to the Sheraton.

orbdep

My wife and I are arriving monday at around 10 estimated, anybody else showing up early?

I'll be there Monday right around 1am. Wife is from there and we are staying at her folks place. They live about an hour and a half away.

<Omicron-8643>

My scheduled arrival is 10pm Wednesday night. I'm flying from DC so odds are there will be a delay somewhere along the line. Any other night owls?

BrennaCeDria

My group of 4 should be landing Wednesday just before 1pm; our fifth (Winyder) will be getting to SeaTac about an hour before us. I think we're taking a few different ways out of the airport; Dover & his gf will be getting a ride from a local friend they're staying with, and Winyder is splitting a van (shuttle, not rental) with us and getting dropped at the house he's staying at, but Brian and I are headed to the Sheraton. If there's anyone else heading to the Sheraton around 1-1:30 let me know (PM here or @brennacedria on Twitter to make sure I see your post) and we can split the van a few more ways.

MrBartokomous

I'm landing at 12:23pm Thursday. Happy to link up with anybody hopping on the light rail around that time.

Pascual

Landing Thursday at 5pm(ish). It would be nice to have a few people to converse with

MyDcmbr

Alaska Airlines 9 landing @ 11:35am at SEATAC.

I arrive shortly after you and am also going to the Sheraton. Alaska Air flight QX2401 from billings mt. Arriving at 3:17 pm.

BlackDragon480

If all goes well with my flight I'll be landing at Sea/Tac on Frontier 847 at just after 10AM on Thursday the 2nd.

Plan on taking the light rail downtown to the Sheraton.

I'll be arriving closer to 11 PM on Thursday. I should have time to grab bags and hoof it to the rail. If you want to make it before the last train, I would suggest finding a way to carry everything on.

I'll probably be looking for dinner at the airport (I'm leaving Charlottle NC at 6:15pm EST for a 5 hour 45 min flight that arrives in Seattle at 9:00pm PST... whee time zones... don't get me started on how on Sunday I leave Seattle at 10pm PST and arrive in Charlotte at 5:45am EST), so yeah, after I find a bite to eat I could hang around the airport for a PAX pal to ride the light rail downtown with (may even run into a couple of other PAXers to join up with too).

Careful a lot of the eateries/shops shut down between 9 and 11pm. I came in at 10:30 recently and was astonished some of the bars were closed already (Concourse D). SeaTac get's pretty deserted at night. http://www.portseattle.org/seatac/shopdine/restaurants-locations.shtml

Awesome, thanks for the link.

Rayman

Kids and I (kids being 19 and 14) will be arriving weds morning around 9:05am...gonna take rail to Sheraton. It sucks there wasn't a PAX(or anything) when I was younger but I am glad to have it now.

Cryana

I would suggest the OP or someone else who may be super motivated (this is going to be a lot of work btw) to make a table of this info of when peeps are arriving (and leaving as well) in order to make it easier to share taxi cabs etc.

Whoops.

Thursday.

Decius

Arriving Tuesday via Air Canada at 19:05. Then I start the hunt for LRT entrance, and some late night dinner.

BrennaCeDria

So far as splitting rides go, you might want to add (+2) to my name, since at least Brian and probably Winyder will be with me. Also, I don't know if Winyder has buttons or not this year, but I'm going to try to make room in my carry on for my buttons, if anyone wants to go ahead and trade while rides are being secured.

aragorn18

My friend gets in at 11PM on Wednesday night. I'm going to pick him up at the airport. If someone else wants a ride I'd be happy to drop you off downtown on my way back. I've got room for two more people.

Drop me a PM.

Don't bother. The Chili's inside SEATAC isn't a full one, it's a Chili's-to-go. They have about half their menu and that doesn't include any chicken crispers. I was really upset when I learned this myself.

majin23x

You can add to mine that I plan on taking the light rail.

mentok1982

Arriving Thrusday morning at 10:29AM.
I will have very little luggage and I will travel to the Red Lion hotel by any means that is easy or cheap.
I have taken a cab from the airport before becasue they are easy to find and there is no chance of me ending up somewhere I don't want to be.

Thursday, Sept 2, 2010
Depart from ORD (Chicago) 8:00AM
Arrive at SEA (Seattle) 10:29AM
Alaska Airlines Flight 21 Boeing 737
Flight time 4 hrs 29 minutes
Current Seat 28F

It looks like I could wait until KnifeySpoony arrives and then go with him and his crew to the light rail.

Moe Fwacky

You know you can take the light rail now for infinitely cheaper, right?

Nope. Never taken the light rail. Taking trains and buses makes me nervous because I worry about missing my stop.

I have used the New York subway system once with friends.
I have used the DC subway system once with my family.
I don't think that I have ever traveled on a city bus.

The Seattle light rail is dead simple. It's one route without any branches or switches. You'll be getting on at one end (the airport is the far south stop) and getting off at the last stop on the north side (Westlake Center). You can't miss your stop because I'm pretty sure they kick everyone off at the end of the line.

It costs $2.50 and you don't have to worry about traffic or tipping the driver. By far the best way to go.
