We get in around 10pm last night, then stand around the “correct” baggage claim for an hour before our flight disappears from the screens entirely.
Finally someone (another passenger not staff) realizes that all our flight’s bags are 100ft away on a different carousel, and have probably been sitting there for a while, given that they’re piled 3 high on a stopped belt mixed in with other flights.
Just for fun I had a look at the Alaska baggage counter to see what claiming my $25 would look like, and the line was stretched around the corner at 11pm. Not worth another hour.
Sometimes, SeaTac problems are due to space limitations, like how in every other airport the baggage claim is built like a hangar and here it’s a sardine can.
This time, I’d say pure incompetence, with a little apathy thrown in for fun.
