Before an early Starbucks A3 coffee or late Seattle Beer Union A10 meal, check the venue listing because airport hours can change. If your gate changes, the Port’s map can show restaurants near your new gate.
If you’d rather have espresso at A1, the Port of Seattle’s coffee guide points to Floret and its Flora Roast from Stumptown. Our food directory lists the other concourses if your gate changes.

Lounges sit in A, all after security. The Club at SEA is near the A11 and A12 gates, open daily 5 a.m. to 12:30 a.m. It offers free snacks and a free bar, a day pass costs $50, and it takes Priority Pass and LoungeKey. The Delta Sky Club at A1 is open daily 4:15 a.m. to 11:15 p.m. The Delta Sky Club near A11 is open daily 5 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. The United Club is near the A9 and A10 gates. Our lounge guide covers who gets in.
If duty free is your reason for stopping, our duty-free guide lists the SEA stores. The A10 store listing doesn’t settle your eligibility or the rules at your destination. Ask at the store before buying anything that depends on those rules.
Early flight, late arrival or a short connection
After the A-gate restaurants close, walk to Qdoba by B1 for a full meal. It’s after security in the B Concourse, which connects to A on foot, and lists 24-hour service. The menu categories include burritos, tacos, quesadillas and salads. The Central Terminal food and shop directory has other after-security choices: Starbucks, Dilettante Chocolates & Mocha Cafe and Hudson list all-day hours.
On a short connection, stay near your assigned A gate: Floret Grab & Go at A1 is an alternative to sitting down, and Capitol Hill Food Hall at A5 lists grab-and-go choices.
If you have a separate-ticket connection or need to collect a bag, follow our connections guide before deciding how far to go for food.
Older airport lists give different gate labels for Mountain Room Bar and the A4 Hudson. For the exact gate, follow the Port of Seattle’s map or overhead signs if a storefront has moved. For an unlisted price or a dish you need, ask the counter.
