SEA Airport Takes Off on Smart Speakers 

By Brooke Pinkston, SEA Customer Care Team

In your smart home, you’re probably used to asking your voice assistant about the weather in your travel destination or the traffic on the way to the airport. With the new AskSEA service, you can now ask your Google or Amazon Alexa home devices questions about Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA).

 Ask and you shall receive!!  Here’s how to activate the AskSEA service:
       Step 1: Say “launch S.E.A. airport" to your home device
       Step 2: Ask your airport-related questions and you will get an answer! 
       Step 3: You’re done. Yes, it's that easy!

Here are the top five questions (and answers) from your fellow passengers since the launch of AskSEA:
