Flying from Seattle-Tacoma
Seattle-Tacoma is Alaska Airlines' principal hub and Delta's growing Pacific Northwest base. The Link Light Rail Red Line runs from the airport's elevated station directly to Westlake in downtown Seattle in 38 minutes for $3.25 — possibly the easiest big-city transfer in the country. International long-haul has expanded sharply post-2023 with new direct service to Tokyo, Seoul, Frankfurt, London Heathrow and Auckland. Weather delays are rare; SEA is one of the most operationally reliable winter airports in the US.
Arriving in Nassau
Lynden Pindling International on New Providence is the Bahamas' main airport, 16 km west of downtown Nassau. Taxis to Nassau and Paradise Island cost $30–$45 (fixed government rates). The route from US East Coast cities is heavily seasonal — peak winter demand (December–April) keeps fares high, with much cheaper shoulder windows in May–June and September–October when hurricane season risk pushes rates down.
