SeaPort Airlines is launching eight daily flights between Boeing Field in Seattle and Felts Field in Spokane starting March 9, offering travelers a faster alternative to Sea-Tac Airport with shorter security lines and closer proximity to downtown.
“The Sea-Tac mega airport has outgrown short-hop travel in the Pacific Northwest. The solution is 100 years old, and it’s under our noses. It’s Boeing Field,” SeaPort Airlines CEO Kent Craford said. The new Spokane routes will build on the existing schedule of up to 16 shuttle flights per day between Boeing Field and Portland International Airport. The airline will offer two morning and two evening round-trip flights per day between Seattle and Spokane.
“We’re bringing back fast, hassle-free travel,” Craford said. “Our customers enjoy free parking and short, easy trips to downtown Seattle and Spokane. They also get to skip the unpredictable, endless TSA lines and frantic security screening. Just check in 20 minutes before your flight. You can predictably get from downtown to downtown in two hours or less. It beats Zoom by about 279 miles.”
Ticket prices for the new flights will be similar to Alaska Airlines, SeaPort Airlines noted. Flights start at $299 one way, and SeaPort Airlines is offering a 32% discount on fares through April using promo code SFF32 in honor of the 1932 Felts Field terminal building. Reservations can be made on SeaPort Airlines’ website.
The expansion offers an alternative for travelers frustrated with Sea-Tac’s long security lines and distance from downtown Seattle. Boeing Field sits just minutes south of downtown, while Felts Field is located near downtown Spokane, potentially cutting total travel time compared to flying through Sea-Tac.
