Delta's Seattle Hub

On March 1, Delta will begin operating its Seattle-Tokyo-Narita route with Airbus A350 aircraft, featuring Delta One Suite and Delta Premium Select options. Delta currently operates the Boeing 767-300ER on Seattle service to Shanghai and Seoul-Incheon. Delta will also begin operating two of its six daily flights between Seattle and San Jose, California with its new Airbus A220 aircraft.

Delta operates more than 150 peak-day departures to more than 50 destinations from its hub at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. The 21,000 square foot Delta Sky Club was awarded "North America's Leading Airport Lounge" for the third consecutive year, lauding its excellence for guests to relax and recharge. In December, Sea-Tac marked a milestone in the construction of the new international arrivals facility by raising and placing the final roof beam in the structure. The 450,000 sq. ft. facility, expected to open in 2020, will be able to serve twice the number of passengers per hour, have over twice the number of passport check positions, utilize enhanced technology for quicker passport check clearance and simplify baggage claim for customers.
