International passengers will arrive at the Baggage Claims level in Gina Marie Lindsey Hall which is on the very south end of the terminal near the international airlines. For wayfinding help, you can search International Arrivals Meeting Point to get step-by-step directions on our interactive map.


Passengers from international flights arrive and will claim all their luggage at the International Arrivals Facility. It typically takes 60 or more minutes to clear U.S. Customs and Border Protection, though it may take longer during peak periods when multiple flights arrive at once. When this occurs passengers will not be at baggage claim at the time of their scheduled landing, the best thing to do is track their flight status online or with the flySEA App. The flight status will notify and show you if the passengers from that flight are still in customs or just landed!
