We just returned from driving a family member to the airport (luckily in a newer 4-wheel drive Volvo wagon), and, far as we can tell, flight delays are minimal, but getting out of the parking garages is awful.
Some pics from Thursday afternoon Dec. 18th:

Traffic moved slowly through the pickup area, with no stalls around 2pm.

After taking 35-45 minutes to exit the parking garages, you'll end up in slow-moving traffic heading south toward 518. TIP: If you're heading west towards Burien, stay in the left-most lane as all the others are jammed up trying to get on 518 west.
