[hawker800FO]

@Shitraver SEA isnt bad go through LHR or FRA

[zeekzilch]

@Shitraver

I agree!

[DonTimsitto]

Why it the train speaks japanese??????

[zeekzilch]

@DonTimsitto

There are many Japanese visitors to Seattle and America's west coast.

I used to get off at terminal or Concourse S, for Asiana Oz 271 bound for Incheon.

[AirlinePilotZJ]

@mario737ify Ive been to Incheon!

[LESTERNIDOY]

[qrymson]

[zeekzilch]

@qrymson

Fun!

[TrainSounds]

They also have an underground train in Atlanta also.

[zeekzilch]

@TrainSounds

I haven't been to Atlanta but hope to someday soon!

[NightHawkStriker]

@zeekzilch i have been to the atlanta train... its very fast though for the train ride

[zeekzilch]

@NightHawkStriker

I hope to try the Atlanta one someday, too!

[DENOAIRFILMS]

i have a question, once you pass security, can you access all terminals, like say i walk off the plane to to the gate, can i get to "S" concourse form another terminal with going back threw TSA ?

[zeekzilch]

@DENOAIRFILMS

I don't remember this particular airport, specifically, but in most you can wonder from one terminal to another. Sometimes, however, international terminals required more screening.

[DENOAIRFILMS]

@zeekzilch thanks :)

[dylanfuccncain]

@DENOAIRFILMS Yeah you can

[bherila]

@DENOAIRFILMS yes, you can go between all the terminals via the train without needing to go through security again.

[zeekzilch]

I'm told, by some Japanese speakers, that this is a relatively generic announcement...

[zeekzilch]

Sorry, I left the comment in your block by mistake - it was meant for another viewer who had a question. Nevertheless, yes, the announcement was good!

[kentarojapan]

Funny Japanese announcement... They should find someone else who speaks in Tokyo accent. hehehe :P

[zeekzilch]

I'm told, by some Japanese speakers, that this is a relatively generic announcement...

[kentarojapan]

Maybe the Japanese who said so are not from Tokyo. I'm a narrator born in Tokyo. :) Let me give you a few examples.

(1) 00'27"

"o-YO-bi" (Capital as the accent). It should be "O-yo-bi" in standard Japanese.

(2) 00'30"

"-eno renraku desu" This sentence is grammatically wrong. It should be "-ni renraku itashimasu."

Don't take it serious. Anyway, it's interesting that they have Japanese annoucement for the public transportation. Thank you for your sharing!

[zeekzilch]

@kentarojapan

Thank you for the explanation. I have a family member who lives in Japan and he says your alternative suggestion is for very polite speech - which would be correct for the train.

Thanks!

[Navahoagm63]

They have a train in that airport? Ok, I have been to this airport at least 50 times, I have NEVER been on that train!

[zeekzilch]

I haven't been there since I recorded this video 18 months ago but believe the train runs between terminals. So, if you're a local you probably just drive to the terminal for your own flight without much need to go to another terminal.

[MrRyanRevels]

Why don't those people just find a jailcell in Seattle to get locked in for a week or two. They would still get a break from their house in or near Seattle doing that.

[granskare]

when we went to alaska from there, and return, we found the signage difficult to understand, or perhaps lack of signs. in 91 we flew nwa to airport at riverside, cal...by the time we exited the plane and walked over to the luggage claim area (no automatic stuff), the luggage was all there for us to pick up, very nice not to have to wait and wait and wait some more :)

[davidkapsner2005]

Thanks! I'm leaving July 29th to Seattle. Been there too many times but I love it up there!

[davidkapsner2005]

at the original stop (where it said to N gates) was that after you went through security and walked through Concourse C? OR was it after Security and there was an escalator to the train? which one is it? walking through Concourse C or the latter?

[zeekzilch]

I'm not exactly sure as I've been through so many airports they're all starting to look alike now! But, to try and answer your question, this was definitely after security and I believe we'd already went through Concourse C. Hope that helps!

[ryanscottrevels]

If you really want to get away for a week or two, just go and sit in your hometown jail and get locked in a cell there.

[chrisz71]

Thank you for posting these videos- for people like myself who are afraid to fly and don't get to very often, but love these train videos- THANK YOU for posting these!!

[zeekzilch]

Thank you for your nice comments on this and my other airport video! I can understand the fear of flying, especially with the two big accidents that made all the news this past month. My complaint with flying has mostly been the expense, cramped conditions (I'm only six feet tall but still never have enough legroom!), and all the waiting, and fuel and pollution issues. That being said, flying can still be fun at times so doing it once in awhile is okay - but not all the time! - Roger J. wendell

[chrisz71]

I'm 6 feet tall myself, and I hear ya on the leg room! It sounds weird, but to get back into the flying as a passenger, 2 years ago, after a 10 year hiatus, I flew to St. Louis- only an hour from LR between the gates. I went to a local flying school and took their $100 introductory flight around LR in a plane that is smaller than my car. But I felt safer in that than I did in the southwest plane. But I think to get over my fear, I have to tackle it head on- by getting my private license.

[MyMultimedia]

Was strange that every one in that car, including yourself exited the train at the North Satellite Gates.

[zeekzilch]

I never noticed it before but you're right!

[senatorxbox360dude]

I live and Seattle, and that is because the train is the only way to get to the North Satellite Gates. The only other stop can be reached by walking.

[MetroExploring]

There's one of these in this one airport in Ohio

[StukInBuf]

I recall something like this at Pittsburgh Int'l Airport.

[Arobo]

hell yes
