Travelers on five airlines – Alaska, Continental, Horizon, Northwest and United - can now check in and print their boarding pass right as they enter the Airport from the parking garage. The quick check-in kiosks enable travelers without luggage to print their boarding pass and head straight for the security checkpoint and their departure gate. Travelers with luggage on Alaska Airlines and Horizon Air can get their boarding pass and then take their luggage right to their airline's bag drop area.
The quick check-in kiosks are located on the fourth floor of the garage at the entrances to Skybridges 2-6 and there is also one in the Main Terminal, across from the American Airlines ticket counter.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) now requires passengers to remove all large electronic items from their carry-ons at security checkpoints.
Items that now need to be screened separately include:
The new requirement does not affect electronic items in checked luggage. More information on airport security restrictions can be found on the Transportation Security Administration's Web site.
