#CondorAirlines, a German airline, has painted some of their planes with this…distinctive!…livery (in various colors, but all just as stripe-tastic), and one comes to #SeaTac daily. How cool it would be to see it in person - maybe I should work from a coffee shop/library out that way, so I can step out to catch a glimpse…

Almost all the food available in the #SeaTac terminal is sushi/poke. Very strange. I love that stuff but I wouldn't trust it in an airport to begin with, plus -- airport food needs to be shelf-stable without refrigeration, so I can take it on the plane and let it sit for five hours, because they don't serve meals on domestic flights anymore. #FirstWorldProblems

Today I rode the #seattle light rail for the first time! 🎉 🥰

It took less than an hour from the westlake station to #SEATAC. The airport bike racks were popin' too!

Things that made this commute awesome:

:vbike: all 5/5 miles to the Westlake station were in protected bikes lanes

:verifiabletrain: The train was quick, clean and safe! Even saw a few friendly #SoundTransit employees checking in on things

🌐 easy to find information on where to park my bike at the airport!

FYI, our trip from home to #SeaTac was near perfect 12 days back... :)
Left home 2 o'clock hour, road Shuttle Park 2 bus & zoomed thru security in less than an hour ALL in!
Cool, cool, cool!

Last day of vacation. Spent time with family. Buried dad. Ate at some good restaurants. And finished the sermon for Sunday (I know, poor planning on my part).
Checked in with the airline. Lunch with my sister’s family later. Final dinner with mom. Then off to #SeaTac for a 10:30 red eye flight home.
Looking forward to the next few months for reasons that I hope to make clear later.

Got to go through the fancy new scanners in #DublinAirport #T2
No need to take any thing out of bag even partially consumed bottle of water (<100ml left, but container is 500ml) got through with no issues.

Such a contrast v #SeaTac on Monday.
Security line was perhaps 10 people in Dublin not Seattle's 45 mins.
Europeans would protest & it would be headlines if airport security routinely took over 15-20 minutes even outside of peak times.
Can't get over how passive USians are on some things.

(Story time!)

So I went planespotting tonight, at this warehouse parking lot JUST north of the #SeaTac runways.

I noticed a group of kids hanging out at the other end of the parking lot, whose car was parked awkwardly on the grass. I wondered if something was up (why the grass and not the asphalt? etc.), but it didn’t seem concerning.

Just before a SEA-LHR 787-10 took off, I realized Mt. Rainier’s summit was visible, and snapped some pictures zoomed in on Rainier and planes passing nearby…

The last meeting of the Commercial Aviation Coordination Commission (CACC) is tomorrow Friday June 9 from 9:30am to 11:30am at Lacey, WA. Details on how to attend and submit comments are at https://wsdot.wa.gov/travel/aviation/commercial-aviation-coordinating-commission
It would be helpful if, in their own words, members should explain why rail needs to part of planning to relieve SEATAC. Rail can help reduce the need for short distance flights to/from SEATAC….as well as help the environment. #Seatac #SEA #Airport

Thinking of all the people standing in line for the airport shuttle, not realizing it will be forced to drive an extra 15 minutes away as it makes the vehicle loop, when the security line is a 5 minute walk from where they stand, including waiting for the light.

#seatac flight path is drawing some great #waketurbulence tonight. #Seattle

Beat the traffic and made it to the gate with about… 2.5 hrs to spare. Our original flight to Vegas was supposed to leave soon but was cancelled last night and rescheduled. Going to make for an even busier day with the compressed schedule. I have to be in St George Utah by this afternoon. #Vegas #notforfun #UtahOrBust #seatac #seattle #delta

While I appreciate the circulating shuttle buses and coming people mover outside the terminals, LAX International Airport needs to come up with a better way of enabling transfers between terminals than having to go in and out and through TSA security. Here is an example from SEA:

DISRUPTION AT #SEATAC: #Breaking - The bomb disposal truck is arriving to SeaTac after a Port of Seattle worker tells me an unattended item is causing police response.
The entire departures curb is now closed on this busy Sunday, causing congestion and frustrated travelers
