As MvB's previous post proved, you all are hot for Sea-Tac's third runway. After 15 years of waiting, Seattle, we don't blame you for the eager anticipation. So we're pleased to report that we're inching a step (or more aptly, a take-off and landing) closer to the third runway being fully functional. A 737 will test the runway today as part of an FAA certification process. The plane will do several touch-and-go landings on the......

There are fewer worse feelings in the world than missing a flight thanks to a traffic jam on the way to the airport. Believe us, we've been there...on Thanksgiving weekend. Missing a flight due to a traffic jam you could avoid or plan for? We simply won't allow that for our dear readers. So if any of you are heading to Sea-Tac, prepare for an even larger traffic clusterfuck than usual. Due to light rail......

On May 8th, Alderete went to Sea-Tac airport to pick up a two-star general flying in from Portland, Oregon.......

It is hard being Alaska Airlines right now. Just last week the local carrier had to cancel numerous flights to comply with FAA inspections of MD-80 airplanes. And not one, but two airlines invaded their bread and butter routes by offering new amenity-filled flights between Seattle and California. Alaska's struggles continued today, when a plane had to be evacuated due to smoke in the cockpit. This also resulted in the day's unintentionally funny headline......

The trendy boutique airlines are into Seattle, and we are loving it. (Sorry Alaska Airlines!) We reported back to you about a luxurious flight down to San Francisco courtesy of the new Virgin America Airlines. With today's news, we hope to be writing you a first-hand report of a JetBlue flight soon. Starting this May, JetBlue will begin non-stop service from Seattle to San Diego, Los Angeles, and Long Beach, Calif. Similar to Virgin......
