Getting to The Ship
Flying into Bremerton?
If you are flying in to Bremerton, you will most likely arrive at SeaTac Airport, Seattle and Tacoma's main airport. If you are arranging for your sponsor to pick you up, they will need to know the airline you are flying in on so they can be waiting at the proper terminal.
You may choose to use the Kitsap Airporter instead (see below).
The Bremerton-Kitsap Airporter
The Bremerton-Kitsap Airporter provides passenger service to NBK, Bremerton/Puget Sound Naval Shipyard. SEE SCHEDULE!
From SeaTac, passengers are picked up at the NORTH END of the terminal building on the LOWER, or baggage claim level. The airporter waiting area is inside the building directly north of the United Airlines baggage claim #16, by door 26. The vans are loaded in the North parking lot, adjacent to door 26.
The ground transportation booth has a current schedule available, and the driver is in the vicinity of the waiting area approximately 15 min. prior to the scheduled departure time at the NORTH END. Schedules are also available at each of the ground transportation schedule holders throughout the baggage level.
The price for the Airporter from Seatac airport to Bremerton is $18. Remember to keep the receipt for your Travel Claim.
