Do you remember the “old days” when you could say goodbye at the airport gate to send a loved one to board a plane? Or you could welcome them with a hug at the gate of a domestic flight? It is really an exciting experience, isn’t it? Now, the opportunity has come back! The Seattle-Tacoma International Airport are trialing its new “Visitor Pass Program”, which allows people without tickets to enter the domestic gates only after a TSA screening. Besides, the new trial allows 50 visitors per day, and you need sign up online before 1:30 p.m. on the day before a visit. Visitors with passes must also have a photo ID and go through the same TSA checkpoint as ticketed passengers. Another exciting hour is that you also can shopping or dining at the post-security area. Image that you can again give the one you send off or welcome home a big and warm hug at the first time, your happy hour may last a long time.
