So we stayed at the Sheraton for our 10am Delta flight to make things simple. We left the Sheraton just before 7am. It took us 45 minutes to get to the M gate area for the Seattle flight.
It took us about 15 minutes of walking to get to the Delta check in counters. We had already checked in for the flight and were both FlyReady with COVID tests uploaded.
We had no bags to check. We flew Business Class so some of our lines were shorter.
At Delta check in, we were asked a few security questions before we got to the ticketing agent.
- for Main Cabin, the line to get to checked in looked to be about 15 minutes longer
Then the ticketing agent looked at our passports and still wanted to see the COVID tests.
From there, we walked over to Passport Control. We did not have a line.
- for Main Cabin, the line looked to be about 15 minutes max
From Passport Control, we walked over to the mini-train that takes you from the K gate area to the M gate area. This train takes about 3 minutes.
Once getting off the train, you are directed to a Security check. Your passport and boarding pass are checked.
- for Main Cabin, the line looked to be about 20 minutes - it was not very crowded. There are line-direction rows here that indicate that there is sometimes a long line.
- we took out our liquids, our phones, camera, and iPads. We left in our small electronics - shaver, heating pad, mini-fan. Shoes do not have to come off but scarves and jackets do.
And then we were at the M gates!
It was extremely empty this morning. I think Main Cabin total time would be just over an hour or so.
