Airports & terminals

Four destinations, and honest advice about which one to use.

We provide private car service to and from Seattle–Tacoma International (SEA), Paine Field in Everett (PAE), Bellingham International (BLI), and the Seattle cruise terminals at Pier 66 and Pier 91. Fares start from a published rate by vehicle class, flight tracking is included, and every ride is private to one party.

SEA

Seattle–Tacoma International

From Anacortes90 mi
Drive time90–120 min
Sedan from$300
TerminalsAll

The region's primary international gateway and our most-driven destination. Ninety miles of I-5 with the Everett corridor in the middle, which is why we build pickup times around your specific departure hour rather than a generic average.

  • Departures: dropped at your airline's departure door, not a shuttle bay
  • Arrivals: meet-and-greet at baggage claim available as an add-on
  • Pre-arranged pickup is a separate zone from the rideshare lot — your driver will direct you
  • Flight tracking included, so we can monitor delays and early arrivals and coordinate your airport pickup accordingly.

PAE

Paine Field, Everett

From Anacortes60 mi
Drive time65–85 min
Sedan from$250
AirlinesAlaska, United

The closest commercial airport to Anacortes and frequently the smarter choice for West Coast routes. A smaller terminal that can offer a quicker, simpler curb-to-gate experience than a major hub like Sea-Tac.

  • Roughly thirty miles and half an hour closer than Sea-Tac
  • Short walk from curb to security — less buffer needed than a large hub
  • Offers convenient commercial flight options without the longer drive to Sea-Tac
  • Worth comparing against Sea-Tac before you book the flight, not after

BLI

Bellingham International

From Anacortes48 mi
Drive time50–65 min
Sedan from$150

Under an hour from Anacortes and our lowest-fare airport route. Bellingham International offers a straightforward terminal experience and can be a convenient alternative to Sea-Tac when your destination is served from BLI.

  • Our least expensive airport transfer by a wide margin
  • Compact terminal with a short walk from curb to check-in and security
  • Also our pickup point for travellers connecting onward to Vancouver, BC
  • Amtrak Bellingham is a short additional hop if you're combining rail and air

PIER 66 / 91

Seattle cruise terminals

From Anacortes82 mi
Drive time85–115 min
Sedan from$275
Piers66 & 91

Alaska sailings depart from Pier 66 downtown and Pier 91 at Smith Cove, and the two are not close to each other. We confirm which pier your ship uses at booking so there's no scramble on sailing day.

  • Vehicle sized for full cruise luggage rather than carry-on volume
  • Pickup timed to your boarding window, not a generic morning departure
  • Return transfers from disembarkation, with the long luggage wait built in
  • Combining a flight and a sailing? We handle airport-to-pier transfers directly

Choosing an airport

Sea-Tac isn't always the right answer

Most people here book Sea-Tac by habit. It has the widest range of flights, but it is also approximately 90 miles from Anacortes. Depending on traffic, check-in requirements, and airport security, travelers need to allow significant additional time before departure.

Paine Field is approximately 30 miles closer to Anacortes, while Bellingham International is under an hour away under normal driving conditions. If your destination is served from either airport, comparing the total travel time and transportation cost can be worthwhile before booking your flight.

Once your ticket is booked, we'll make sure your airport transportation is planned around your departure time.

Questions

Airport transfer questions

Where does my driver meet me at Sea-Tac?

For curbside airport pickups, your driver will send you the exact meeting instructions for your trip. Pre-arranged transportation uses designated pickup areas at Sea-Tac. If you select our meet-and-greet service, your driver will meet you inside baggage claim with a name sign.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

We track your flight when you provide the flight number at booking. If your flight is delayed or arrives early, we monitor the updated arrival time and coordinate your airport pickup accordingly.

How long should I allow for a Sea-Tac departure?

Plan on 90 to 120 minutes of driving plus your airline's recommended check-in window. For a domestic morning flight we typically schedule pickup about three and a half hours before departure; we will tell you the exact time when you book.

Do you drop off at all Sea-Tac terminals?

Yes. We drop at your airline's departure door rather than a central shuttle bay, so you walk directly into the terminal you need.

Can you take me from the airport straight to a cruise ship?

Yes. Airport-to-pier transfers are common for Alaska sailings, and we confirm whether your ship departs from Pier 66 or Pier 91 at booking.
