Seattle Paine Field International Airport (PAE), known as Snohomish County Airport, or colloquially as "Seattle's other airport," is located in Everett, Washington. It serves Bellevue and the greater Seattle area, as it is located just a 30 - 35 minute car ride from Bellevue and Seattle respectively. In 2019, PAE introduced a brand new passenger terminal that The Points Guy calls "a passenger's dream." This world-class terminal is now servicing flights from Frontier Airlines, with flights to Phoenix, Denver and Las Vegas. Frontier joins Alaska as the two airlines servicing PAE.
New service from Seattle Paine Field Airport (PAE):
- Denver (DEN): 3x/week
- Las Vegas (LAS): 3x/week
- Phoenix (PHX): 3x/week
The $40 million commercial passenger terminal is small, yet luxurious. The ticketing area gives elegance and modernity with its walnut paneling and onyx countertops. There are with six universal kiosks that can be used to access either airline. The waiting area is akin to an upscale hotel, with elevated lounge seating, a Beecher's Handmade Cheese Cafe, and a bar that leads guests to the 2 gates within the 30,000 sq. ft. terminal. A public-private partnership between Snohomish County and Propeller Airports, the PAE terminal pays special attention to detail. There are USB and USB C ports at every seat, great wifi access, complimentary morning newspapers, waiter service throughout the lounge, and ambient lighting designed to bring calmness to travelers.
