    Like others have stated, the line to get thru security is ridiculous. I arrived early and it still took me 45 minutes to get thru. Plan accordingly or plan on missing your flight.

    Hope you bought a battery pack because outlets are few and far between.

    The only bar in the S gates closes up shop at 10 pm. So prepare yourself, AKA pre-crunkify, if you're on a red eye.

    If you're flying first class or are a card carrying airline VIP look for the priority security lines that are sometimes hidden!

    If you're flying the Spokane or Portland Shuttle on Alaska Airlines, you can use the Premium Lane at security!

    If you plan to take the train to the city, note that you can only buy a day pass for the current day - do not try to buy two at once for today and tomorrow, you may get stopped and warned, nicely tho

    If you've got status the line is shorter and easier through Checkpoint #2 behind Virgin America.

    New McDonalds in the B Concourse. Now you have your answer to the question "are these airplane seats getting smaller?".

    Parking is high, great land side food though, plenty of places to sit and wait for passengers flying in

    If you show up late, they'll give you priority bag drop and escort to the front of the security line. The rest of you responsible punctuals can wait.

    If you are traveling with someone in a wheelchair or children, look for the special lines through security.

    Usual tip for all airports. Curbside Pickups at departure during late evenings are hassle free.

    Remember there is a Starbucks outside of the gates. It's right behind the Alaska Airlines self check-in.

    Great, clean airport. Southwest security lines are usually short and quick. Food selection is not bad, considering it's airport food.

    World’s busiest route? Between Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. (Good thing you can buy Bose QuietComfort 15 headphones in Brazil.)

    Signage not to clear bizarre arrows pointing every which way... Easy to confuse. Rental car facility is far away and requires a shuttle bus trip. Make sure you have extra time.

    One of the easiest airports to get in and out of. Stay at the Marriott nearby if leaving early in the morning.

    Once you've boarded an airplane, sit back, relax, and enjoy a nice cup of water.

    Security is easy if you're prepared. If it takes you more than a minute to get your stuff on the conveyor belt...BE FASTER OR ALLOW OTHERS TO GO IF THEY'RE READY

    Go to the Central Food Court Lounge and enjoy the view. Plus, they have rocking chairs :)

    All the security lines have access to all the gates, ask an attendant or guard which line is short. It may be counter-intuitive, but I have saved tons of time walking to the farthest, shortest line.

    Yummy sandwiches at Beechers near gate C2. Also, really friendly service!
