Horrible physical check disrespectful
Very bad experience with this airport
This is the last time I visit this place
I narrowly missed my flight back to Canada that was connecting through Seattle because the check in guy didn't know why I didn't have a Visa to enter Seattle. My passport was from the USA my husband's from Canada. This is the airline check in guy. The plane had already closed the doors and was about to taxi for take off. Not a single apology. How can a check in guy refuse me to enter my own country? He is probably still working there too . Incompetent people waiting for others to take their jobs at a higher fee.
