With our flight to SeaTac Airport not due to take off until 3:50p, we had plenty of time to kill at Ted Stevens International Airport.
On arriving at the Delta check-in counter, we asked if we could switch to an earlier flight. No can do. As was the case with our 3:50p flight, the two earlier flights were overbooked. And no, we couldn’t check in until noon or thereabouts.
So, we grabbed a cart that was on the sidewalk outside the arrivals area and went over to the only restaurant that was open on our side of the security check-point — Norton Sound. I can’t say that the seafood was great … perhaps a burger would have been a better option. In any event, by the time we were finished with our early lunch, the Delta counter was accepting checked bags for our flight.
Our Global Entry memberships gives us access to TSA Pre✔️ when flying domestically. Thus going through security was easy peasy … even with Mui being selected for the “privilege” of a secondary inspection.
We spent an hour or so wandering the B and C concourses, checking out the shops and the art installations … some interesting … some funny … some odd … but all entertaining.
After our leg-stretching stroll, we’re now at our gate. Rather, since it was crowded, we’re across the way, sitting at the empty United gate instead.
Another hour to go before our flight is called!Les mer
