  3 0 Shuttle Express can probably get you there for around $25, maybe (http://www.shuttleexpress.com/). That's what I do. Or if you can get a ride to the downtown area, you can take Sound Transit to Sea-Tac for $2.50. The first train won't leave until 5:00 AM and it gets to the airport at 5:45 AM...might be cutting it a bit close. Schedule is here: http://www.soundtransit.org/Documents/pdf/riding/CentralLinkTimepointsJun10.pdf Sacrelicious answered in Trips & Travel about 1 year ago | Report 5 comments by CleverScreenName, MyrnaMinkoff, and Mahtli69… 0 0 Yeah, I think your hunch is correct: I wouldn't arrive at the airport at 5:45 for a 7AM international flight. You'd almost certainly miss it, and if you didn't you should cash out your IRA and buy lottery tickets. CleverScreenName commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Well, the first leg isn't international, but the recommendation for international flights is two hours prior to the flight. I can probably get away with an hour and a half. What was I thinking? MyrnaMinkoff commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 I live in Ballard, but up around 85th. In my experience, a cab from the airport is around $45-50, and the shuttle is $37. Cabs usually take Aurora to my house, so Greenlake would be a bit cheaper. The shuttle is probably the same price. A taxi is the way to go, unless someone owes you a favor. Mahtli69 commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Good call. Thanks. MyrnaMinkoff commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 If the first leg of the flight isn't international, then you don't need to get there two hours early. Also, if we're talking about going downtown first, it should be noted that there is a flat rate airport-downtown cab rate of $32. I believe most of the major cab groups honor this.

  3 0 A night owl route on Metro would be your cheapest option: http://metro.kingcounty.gov/tops/bus/schedules/s082_0_.html http://metro.kingcounty.gov/cftemplates/show_map.cfm?BUS_ROUTE=082&DAY_NAV=WSU Looks like you can catch the 82 around Greenlake at about 2:30 am. Then if you miss the bus you can call a taxi. From Ballard to Sea-Tac a taxi is around $60, so probably more from Greenlake, although getting to shoot most of the way on a deserted Aurora might actually negate the extra distance.

  2 0 There's a Holiday Inn right next to the airport with a free 24/7 shuttle service to the terminal. I've used that before and found it a nice way to begin an early-morning international flight: I've already packed and ready to go and can't do any last-minute dithering. Barring that, got anyone you could blackmail for a ride? At least there's no traffic. CleverScreenName answered in Trips & Travel about 1 year ago | Report 2 comments by Lee and CleverScreenName… 0 0 Surely that would be more than the taxi? Lee commented about 1 year ago | Report 0 0 Likely, yes (although, given the distance, not a lot). But as a way of getting reliably to the airport on time without taking the chance on the cab being late, it's an option.

  0 1 I guess I like to live on the edge, because, since the first flight is domestic, I'd just take light rail and get there at 5:45, especially if I had an e-ticket and knew that I'm not on the no-fly list. I've made the mistake of following the recommendations for showing up early and paid for it by being bored out of my gourd for two hours sitting at the gate. keshmeshi answered in Trips & Travel about 1 year ago | Report Comment on this answer Enter your comment or ask a new question preview THIS IS A PREVIEW: Click "Post" to submit it or "Edit" to make changes. edit Please wait… This could take a minute if the tubes are clogged.
