SEA–GEG Quick Facts
Frequently Asked Questions
Seattle to Spokane: West Side to East Side of Washington
SEA-GEG is the busiest intra-state air route in Washington. The 225-mile sector crosses the Cascade Range in about 1 hour of flight time. Alaska Airlines leads with 6 to 8 daily nonstops from its Seattle hub. Delta and Southwest add competing frequencies that push total daily departures above 10 in each direction. The route serves both point-to-point demand and connections. Spokane is the economic center of eastern Washington and the Inland Northwest, serving a metro population of about 600,000. Business travelers commute between Seattle's tech sector and Spokane's healthcare, education, and agriculture industries.
Cascades Divide and Ground Alternatives
The Cascade Range creates a natural barrier that makes flying practical despite the short distance. I-90 over Snoqualmie Pass is the primary driving route, taking 4 to 5 hours in clear conditions. Winter closures and chain requirements make the pass unreliable from November through March. This seasonality pushes winter traffic toward air service. Spokane International Airport is an efficient facility with short security lines and easy access from the city. Gonzaga University generates some traffic during basketball season and academic events. Spokane also serves as the gateway to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, 30 miles to the east. Alaska's hub at SEA provides Spokane passengers onward connections to the West Coast, Hawaii, Alaska, and select international destinations.
