The no-TSA check-in lobby at Seattle's Boeing Field

SeaPort Airlines, which offers daily flights from Seattle’s Boeing Field, is offering travelers a 10% discount on fares with the promo code “NoTSA.”

“Guests on our flights get to skip the unpredictable, endless TSA lines and frantic security screening,” said SeaPort Airlines CEO Kent Craford. “Just check in 20 minutes before your flight. You can predictably get from downtown Seattle to downtown Spokane in two hours or less. And by the way, the parking is free.”

SeaPort Airlines flies between Boeing Field (BFI) and Spokane’s Felts Field (SFF)—both charming 1930s-era, centrally located airports built for convenience. They combine fast, hassle-free travel with benefits such as on-site car rental, rideshare and other services.

“Boeing Field-based flights bring fun and ease back to air travel,” Craford said. “This is a vastly superior way of getting you to Portland or Spokane that saves hours per trip.”

As of March 9, SeaPort offers two morning and two evening roundtrip flights per day between Boeing Field in Seattle (BFI) and Felts Field in Spokane (SFF). The new Spokane routes build on SeaPort Airlines’ existing schedule of up to 16 shuttle flights per day between Boeing Field and Portland International Airport (PDX).

“Travelers have zero reason to waste three hours in a TSA screening line at Sea-Tac,” Craford said. “Boeing Field is ready to be the people’s airport in the Seattle area. This amazing transportation asset is no longer just for the private jet-set. We are making it available to everyone."
