I did a quick search on the TSA site, and PAE is not currently listed in the participating airports list but full Pre Check service is planned. There isn’t a full TSA PreCheck service but you do get to keep your shoes on and get ahead of the line. We had already done our check-in online so we bypassed the kiosks and headed straight to the TSA screening area, where 1 of 3 lines was staffed.

Right now, there is bus service but eventually, one of the Light Rail lines will be extended. We will of course drive as we are coming from Vancouver but depending where you live, you can also take transit, an Uber or Lyft, or even bike. Having access to flights to destinations we like to visit and/or to connect to other destinations while avoiding SEA is something we’re looking forward to and that will help us to continue flying on Alaska Airlines. We’ve also narrowly missed connections due to the never-ending “flow control” delays into SEA. Driving to SEA due to the traffic on I-5 is also not the best experience as you have to buffer at least 2.5 hours to be on the safe side. While the delays and cancellations have improved in the last 1.5 years, there was a time the service was unreliable due to Horizon’s pilot shortage which caused the cancellation of hundreds of flights. Now, whenever we want to fly on Alaska Airlines, we have to connect through SEA – Seattle from BLI – Bellingham or YVR – Vancouver on flights mostly operated by Horizon Air, or drive down the I-5 to catch a flight out of SEA. Alaska Airlines tails at ANc – Anchorage Airport Another factor is Air Canada’s purchase and scheduling of the 737 MAX to service the Hawaiian Islands daily non-stop from Vancouver and other destinations in California. We suspect the reason for this is the devaluation of the Canadian Dollar which would deter Canadians from traveling to Bellingham to catch a flight and having to keep prices competitive to maintain profitability on the operated flights. In the last few years, Alaska Airlines has drastically reduced their service to/from BLI – Bellingham Airport (located 52 miles south of Vancouver and 95 miles north of Seattle) and to/from YVR – Vancouver International Airport. We’ve been loyal customers to Alaska Airlines for years and it hasn’t been easy to keep flying with them as 2 Canadians based in Vancouver, Canada. Why we’re excited about the Alaska Airlines Flights at PAE: There is limited capacity at PAE: for example, SEA handles about 600 departures per day and PAE can accommodate a total of 24 departures per day ( currently 18 flights per day are scheduled). In the last few years, SEA – Seattle Tacoma Airport has become very busy and so it only makes sense to start commercial service at PAE – Paine Field in Everett for certain routes.

Located about 30 miles north of Seattle and 125 miles south of Vancouver, PAE – Paine Field Airport is a good option for those who want to avoid driving in Seattle traffic on their way to SEA – Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA-TAC). On March 4, 2019, Paine Field (also known as Snohomish County Airport) began domestic commercial flight service.
