Travel Information

(Updated April 2003)

The Airporter Shuttle runs between SeaTac Airport (SEA) and Bellingham Airport (BLI).  The cost is $55 round trip and travel time from SEA to BLI is 3 1/2 hours.  In Bellingham the Airporter stops at both the airport and the Value Inn.  Both of these stops are about equal distance from SJS/SJY (5-10 minutes by taxi), in opposite directions.  You may reach the Airporter for reservations at 1-866-235-5247.

Including all airport fees and taxes a Hertz car rental (one day, one way, no drop off fee) from SEA to BLI is approximately $75 and from BLI to SEA is approximately $65, for a total of $140 round trip.  The drive will take 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 hours, depending on traffic (exactly 100 miles from SEA to BLI).   You may reach Hertz at 1-800-654-3131.  Avis offeres the same "one day, one way, no drop off fee" special at similar rates.  You may reach Avis at 1-800-331-1212.

Therefore:

1.  For a party of 3 or more, renting a car is less expensive than taking the shuttle.

2.  For a party of 2, renting a car is about $30 more than taking the shuttle, but there are some advantages:

        a)   You will arrive at San Juan Sailing/San Juan Yachting about an hour earlier...  maybe more if you have to wait for the next Airporter Shuttle departure.
