Seattle Tacoma, WA, September 10, 2026 — The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) has announced that its complimentary Spot Saver program is scheduled to conclude following the Thanksgiving holiday period. The program, which allowed travelers to reserve a time slot in the security line, will cease operations after the busy travel week.

The official end date for the free service has not been explicitly stated beyond “after Thanksgiving.” Spot Saver was introduced as a way to manage passenger flow and reduce wait times at security checkpoints. This initiative aimed to provide a more predictable experience for passengers departing from SEA.

Information regarding whether a paid version of the program or an alternative security screening reservation system will be implemented in the future was not provided in the announcement. Airport officials have indicated the program’s discontinuation, but details about what will replace it or if any changes to general security procedures will accompany its end are pending.

Travelers who have relied on Spot Saver for planning their airport visits should be aware of this upcoming change. The period immediately following Thanksgiving is typically one of the busiest travel times of the year, and the absence of the reservation system may impact expected wait times. Further announcements from SEA regarding operational changes are anticipated.
