Wireless Self-Service Kiosks Speed Passenger Check-In The new quick check-in kiosk system at Sea-Tac Airport allows passengers to print boarding passes before even entering the terminal. Passengers with no luggage can go straight from the kiosk to the security checkpoint without stopping at the ticket counter. The quick check-in kiosks are located on the fourth floor of the garage at the entrances to Skybridges 2-6.
