First experience of entering the United States at Seattle International Airport

In the past, people entered the United States from Los Angeles or San Francisco, but the most painful thing is that customs clearance is very time-consuming. Taking Los Angeles as an example, the customs clearance time can often be as long as three hours, which means that the transfer time in Los Angeles must be It takes five hours to avoid being too late, but such a connection time is simply difficult to achieve, and there are fewer airlines that can arrange such a long customs clearance. For a while, I thought San Francisco was not bad. After all, the airport is not that big. After clearing customs, you don’t need to leave the customs clearance building and you can walk directly from inside to the boarding gate of the next domestic flight. However, with the end of the epidemic, my experience of two transfers in San Francisco , all felt that San Francisco seemed to be becoming more and more similar to Los Angeles, which led to the decision to try Seattle International Airport this time. The airport itself is not big. You can see it as soon as you get off the plane. After arriving at Seattle International Airport, you can walk for less than 1 minute and you can see a very special landscape in the second picture. I can’t tell what the design is. , I can only say that I have never seen it anywhere else. From the scene looking down from the 2nd floor, you can see the luggage carousel (picture 1) on the 1st floor, which means that it takes less than 3 minutes to walk after getting off the plane. , we came to the baggage carousel and saw the scenery of the airport outside (picture 3). Since photography was not allowed during the customs clearance section, there was no photo evidence. However, the entire customs clearance process from queuing to the customs officers asking questions took about approximately It took 35 to 40 minutes. Compared with the other two international airports, it saved a lot of time. Finally, we arrived at the direction of the domestic boarding gate (picture 4). Overall, in terms of customs clearance standards, Seattle International The airport is a very good choice, but you have to be careful when choosing your inbound flights. After all, there are currently not many direct flight options between Taiwan and Seattle. #SeattleInternational Airport #The shortest one-time customs clearance experience in the United States #Detailed customs clearance experience in Seattle
