Pack Like a Pro: Best Baggage Tips From SEA
Feeling overwhelmed by your packing list for that big summer trip? Fear not! Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is here with top insider tips to help you pack.
Come to the airport prepared. Before you leave the house, confirm that your bags meet the checked baggage and carry-on requirements of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), your airline, and your destination country’s immigration agency if traveling abroad.
