Traffic volumes are jumping back up for the Presidents Day holiday while a new customer convenience option is coming soon! Bookings for Reserved Parking in the airport garage begin March 5, 2024, at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Reserved Parking will offer travelers guaranteed parking on a dedicated floor — a convenient premium location with a direct connection to the terminal. Floor 4 will be all Reserved Parking, replacing the existing Pre-Booked Parking program and Terminal Direct parking. Drive-up parking will continue to be available in General Parking (Floors 1-3, 5-8).
Users of Reserved Parking will have peace of mind knowing that they can use a quick scan of a QR code to enter the dedicated area on Floor 4. Reservations can be made up to 120 days in advance and can be modified without penalty up to 6 hours before the reserved entry time. Rates are $47 per day with a minimum 2-day reservation. Variable rate pricing may be implemented in the future. Travelers will still be able to drive up and enter General Parking in the garage.
Reservations for Reserved Parking begin March 5 at ReserveSEA.com. For direct questions, call Parking Customer Service at (206) 787-4888.

Travel volumes will rise rapidly from the early year slowdown with the coming of Presidents Day weekend. Thursday begins the busy holiday with a forecasted 150,000 travelers going through SEA (that’s departing, arriving, and connecting passengers). The busiest day will be Friday, February 16, with 161,000 passengers, followed by Monday, February 19 (148,000), and Sunday, February 18 (140,000) following close behind.
Remember, the busiest times are early and late. More than one-third of SEA’s daily passenger volume arrives at the airport before 9:00 a.m., causing busy conditions at TSA security checkpoints and on the drives. Two more peak periods occur from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m. and from 9:00 to 11:00 p.m.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
