SEATAC – Nw u cn uz txt msgs 2 chk flts @ c-tc!
In other words…now you can use text messages to check flights at Sea-Tac!
The new service, implemented by the Port of Seattle, allows travelers the convenience of checking their flight information on their cell phones.
It uses a simple text message request that returns updated flight information back to the user’s phone via text message and is compatible with most cell phone brands.
Users get real-time flight information including current departure or arrival times, gate numbers, and additional flight status updates.
Here’s how it works:
- Text “FlySEA” (359732)
- Text the name of your airline and flight number. For example: Alaska 1234
- Within seconds, you’ll receive the latest real-time information, including the flight number, departure or arrival time, gate number and flight status
- Cell phone updates are a one-time, passenger activated service
- In order to receive another update you must text the address again
- Your cell phone carrier’s standard rates apply
For those interested in receiving e-mail notifications for real-time flight status, customers must sign up for the free service on the Port of Seattle’s Web site.
