More than 100,000 passengers per day are projected to travel through Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) during the peak of the upcoming Memorial Day holiday. Travelers need to prepare for company and continue following health and safety precautions during travel.

Masks are still required as federal mask mandates continue for transportation facilities. Health and safety protocols and plans for managing larger crowds may be new if you haven’t traveled recently. SEA Airport encourages passengers to check the flySEA app and FlyHealthy@SEA along with this summer travel guidefor more information.

Our globally accredited FlyHealthy@SEA prioritizes traveler safety, health and well-being with protocols like mandatory masks, medical-grade cleaning, touchless technology, and plastic protective barriers.

By The Numbers

Current projections estimate that the Thursday and Friday ahead of the holiday will see 40,000 outbound travelers going through the security checkpoints, which amounts to over 100,000 total passengers going through the airport (inbound, outbound, and connecting). This represents approximately 40% fewer travelers compared to pre-pandemic levels (60,000 outbound and 163,000 overall passengers during the 2019 Memorial Day weekend). The busiest day since the pandemic began was April 9 with 35,746 screened for outbound and over 89,000 overall passengers.
