Seattle Priority Pass Lounges and Restaurants! (SEA)

The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) offers a whopping 5 different priority pass locations, 3 Priority pass Lounges and 2 Priority Pass Restaurants! In this video I take you to each of the different locations so you can have an idea on which spots you should visit on your trip through the Seattle airport. All lounges and restaurants are behind a single security area so there is no leaving a terminal and having to go back through security to get to any of the locations. The version of priority pass offered by the Capital one VentureX or the Chase Sapphire Reserve is needed to get free meals at the Priority Pass Restaurants, but any version will get you access to the lounges! My favorite spots are the Club in Seattle Lounge in Terminal S or the Bambuza Restaurant in Terminal N.
Pro-tip: You normally aren't allowed to use your restaurant priority pass on to-go orders, but if you order one of the sandwiches at Bambuza they serve it to you all wrapped up regardless of if you are dining in or ordering to-go so you can essential get a to-go meal to eat on your flight if you want.

There are 2 recent changes in 2023! 1)The Venture X no longer gives you access to Priority Pass Restaurants. 2) Trail Head BBQ is no longer a Priority pass Restaurant. Instead you can now go to Brewtop Social, also in the central temrinal.

Always wanted to know Priority Pass options at SeaTac. Thanks dude!

Enjoying the videos. Have committed to getting a card with lounge access this year, so I like seeing the different lounges. And I'm a little budget-oriented so I like that you are, too! I want the Venture X, just not sure I can get it.

[@travelcheaper582]

Glad you liked the video! The Venture X is definitelya great card if you want priority pass and you would use the yearly $300 credit!

[@clthewanderer]

Thanks for this review! I just got the Venture X card and I am traveling to Thailand next month so I'll definitely have to check out the Club SEA International lounge and do a review.

Keep up the good work! ❤

Thank you!

US Bank Altitude Reserve allows the restaurants too

[@frankm1289]

11:15 That is not correct. Citi Prestige and Ritz Carlton Card’s PPS card also give you access to the restaurants. In fact, only AMEX’s priority pass cards got kicked out, and capital one is joining Amex on 2023. 😂😂😂

[@xblindx]

Will they accept the digital versions of the card?

[@AK-xu5sj]

I'm confused. So you cannot go into these restaurants paying cash? Or is it you can only get the PP credit with certain level of membership?

[@amanda823s]

Great video, thank you! Do you know if you can get to any of the restaurants or lounges upon arrival from an international flight?

[@ranillorodriguez6807]

thanks for the video! do you know if you have to fly british airways to access that lounge or any international flight works? thanks!

[@walterwlim]

The British Airways Lounge doesn't show up on the PP website.

[@isaiahm158]

Thank you for this video! I recently got the Sapphire Reserve and I’ll be visiting Seattle soon so it’ll be my first time using the priority pass. One question though, if time permits can you use the pass the eat at a restaurant and also stop at a lounge?

[@travelcheaper582]

Yes, you can! You can even go to both restauraunts if you want to. Its just a matter of how much time you have.

[@isaiahm158]

@@travelcheaper582 That’s awesome! Thanks for the info!

Update on the Capital One Venture X Priority Pass benefit- they took away the restaurant free meals in January. You still have lounge access, but no more restaurant benefits.

[@hkbuddy97006]

It's really sad that SEA does not have a better airline lounge to offer considering SEA is a major hub to Asia and Europe. I always dread connecting in SEA, I'd much rather connecting in LAX or SFO where there are luxury lounges like the Polaris or the Qantas First and Business Class Lounges.

[@travelcheaper582]

The priority pass lounges there are defintiely lacking. If you are able to get access though, there is a very nice Delta Sky Club there as well as a pretty nice Centurion Lounge in my opinion.

[@LK_EBM]

Can you stop by both restaurants with 1 PP and get $28? I have the Venture X.

[@travelcheaper582]

Yes, If you have the time. Trail Head BBQ is a sit down place so it takes a little longer but at Bambuza you order at the counter so it's usually pretty fast. You get unlimited access with the Venture X.

Does my Hilton surpass card work for these lounges?

[@travelcheaper582]

I believe the Hilton Surpass card gives you 10 visits to Priority Pass Lounges (Not Restaurants) each year. So if you still have visits left for this year you should be able to visit these lounges. Unfortunately though, Hilton just rolled out a change to this card and starting in February 2024, you will no longer have Priority Pass Access with the Hilton Surpass card.

[@samharner2023]

You’re from Seattle too?

[@travelcheaper582]

That's my home airport.
