A new reservation-only parking option, Reserved Parking, is now available at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA). Providing added peace of mind for travelers, Reserved Parking is an advanced reservation to ensure customers are guaranteed parking upon arrival on Floor 4 of the garage — even during peak travel periods. Travelers can start taking advantage of the new parking option ahead of Spring Break travel by reserving online.
To access the dedicated Reserved Parking floor, travelers must make their reservation in advance at ReserveSEA.org. Drive-up parking on the floor, previously known as Terminal Direct, is no longer available. The day rate for the floor remains the same price. Travelers can create an online account to manage upcoming reservations, easily modify or cancel a reservation if travel plans change, and see prior transaction history.
“Reserved Parking is something travelers have repeatedly asked for over the past few years. We’re excited to launch a new product that will guarantee space for customers when they get to SEA, and improve their overall travel experience,” said Stephanie Nelson, Senior Manager, Aviation Commercial Management. “We expect Reserved Parking reservations to fill up fast for the upcoming Spring Break period, so we encourage travelers to plan ahead now. As the busy travel season picks up, we believe this will be a really convenient parking option that people can rely on.”
“In general, we recommend people reserve their parking when they book their flight, or at least 14 days in advance of flight departure to ensure availability,” said Nelson. “It’s especially helpful as summer approaches and the garage nears capacity on a regular basis. We expect the program to be popular and have plans to expand to more floors of the garage in the future.”
This new parking option is another example of SEA’s efforts to make the customer journey more predictable from the moment travelers reach the Airport Expressway to when they board their plane. Several major capital improvements are underway as SEA prepares for future needs and growing travel demand. One recent project completion was the automated parking guidance system (APGS), which installed wayfinding lights and cameras on every floor of the parking garage to help drivers gauge capacity and find parking stalls more quickly.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
