Capabilities

Tools 16

check_hotel_prices

Live room prices for Seattle-area hotels on given dates: the lowest total for the stay (2 adults, 1 room, USD, our price as seatac.co shows it). near is a cruise pier (pier-66, pier-91) or a hotel area. Each hotel's rooms_url opens its seatac.co page on those dates, where the traveler picks a room and pays, and can add the ride from Seatac. Rate limited; reuse results instead of re-checking.

Discovered
compare_airport_options

Compare every way to get between Seatac Airport (SEA) and a Seattle-area place for one trip: a private Seatac Connection ride, driving and parking at the SEA garage, a rental car, app rideshare or taxi, and Link light rail. Priced options carry real numbers (Port of Seattle garage rates, typical rental costs, example or live ride fares); rideshare and light rail are described, not priced, because their prices are not fixed. direction: "departing" (flying out of SEA: the alternative is parking), "arriving" (visiting: the alternative is a rental), or "both". Ranks the priced options cheapest first.

Discovered
compare_parking_vs_ride

Compare parking at the Seatac (SEA) airport garage for a trip with a round-trip private ride to and from the airport, using the same numbers as seatac.co/parking: Port of Seattle drive-up rates (taxes included) against example sedan fares from seven Seattle-area starting points. Returns both totals, which is cheaper and by how much, and the trip length where the ride starts winning. Optional: pass address + pickup_datetime for a live fare (one rate-limited quote).

Discovered
compare_rental_vs_ride

Compare renting a car at Seatac (SEA) for a stay with a private ride from the airport and back, as seatac.co/seatac-car-rental does: typical SEA daily rate, taxes and airport fees, the facility charge, and hotel parking every night (gas left out), against example sedan fares. Override the daily rate or hotel parking with the traveler's own quote. Returns the breakdown, which is cheaper, a ride booking link, and a rental search link (partner; seatac.co may earn a commission). Optional live fare with address + pickup_datetime (one rate-limited quote).

Discovered
find_cruise_sailings

Look up Seattle cruise sailings from the Port of Seattle schedule (2026 season and the preliminary 2027 season): which pier and terminal a ship uses on a date, and which ships sail on a day. Filter by ship (fuzzy), cruise_line, date or from/to, and pier. Each upcoming embarkation (turnaround) day includes ride_to_pier with a prefilled seatac.co booking link from Seattle-Tacoma International Airport; call quote_ride with its quote_ride_arguments plus a pickup time for the live fare. Without a date filter, only sailings from today on are returned.

Discovered
find_events_near

Find Seattle-area games, concerts and shows on given dates (from Seatac's daily Ticketmaster snapshot), the same list seatac.co shows as "Happening while you're here". With near (the airport, a cruise pier, or a hotel area) events are nearest first, one per venue, within 20 miles, with the straight-line distance; without it, the biggest events first. Each event has its start time, the planned ride (pickup time to arrive 45 minutes early, estimated end, ride back), a prefilled round-trip booking link, the event page and the ticket link.

Discovered
find_restaurants

Places to eat in Seattle from the trip planner's own list, for breakfast, lunch or dinner, nearest first to an area (pike-place, waterfront, downtown, pioneer-square, queen-anne, airport) or one of our hotels: cuisine, price level, address, a one-line why, a map link, and with hotel_slug about how long it takes to get there. Each has a pick_id for plan_seattle_trip's picks.

Discovered
find_things_to_do

Seattle experiences the trip planner offers (Space Needle and Chihuly Garden, a harbor cruise, the Museum of Flight, food tours and more): what each is, how long it takes, which parts of the day it fits, rough price level, where it is, a ticket link, and with hotel_slug about how long it takes to get there. Each has a pick_id to pass to plan_seattle_trip's picks.

Discovered
get_service_info

Describe Seatac Connection: private, pre-booked rides between Seatac Airport and the Seattle area, plus hourly charters. Returns the service area, vehicle types with passenger and bag capacity, booking requirements, and the cancellation and refund policy. Fares are quoted per trip; use quote_ride for a live price.

Discovered
plan_airport_departure

Work out when to leave for Seatac (SEA) for a departing flight, the seatac.co departure planner's rule: be at the terminal 2 hours before a domestic or 3 hours before an international departure (SEA's advice), minus Seatac's stored typical drive from the starting point. Returns the terminal-arrival target, the pickup time, a prefilled ride booking link, and how long before departure to leave from each place we have a drive time for.

Discovered
plan_cruise_trip

Build a day-by-day plan for a Seattle cruise departure, the same plan the seatac.co sailing page shows: fly into Seatac, ride to a hotel near the pier (or straight to the ship on sailing day), the ride to the terminal, and the ride home or one more night after the cruise. Each step has its booking link and cost: ride estimates from Seatac's own pricing (whole dollars before fee and tax; final price at booking), typical hotel rates, and a flight comparison link. Needs the ship and sailing date (use find_cruise_sailings first if unsure). Pass hotel_slug from hotel_options to put a hotel in the plan and the total.

Discovered
plan_seattle_trip

Plan a Seattle visit day by day, the same plan as seatac.co/seattle-trip-planner: a work trip, seeing family, a game or concert, or a holiday (for a cruise use plan_cruise_trip). Give the dates; everything else is optional and can be added on later calls. Returns each day in order: arrival (flight, the Seatac ride with its pickup time and estimate), the hotel, each day's plan from morning to evening with meetings at their set times, meals, experiences and events, the estimated travel time between stops and a ride link for each leg, warnings when something won't fit, suggested restaurants and experiences for empty parts of the day, games and concerts on each date with ticket links, the ride back to the airport timed from the flight home, hotel options ranked for the trip (nearest the meetings for work), an estimated total, and plan_page_url, which opens exactly this plan for the traveler to change and book. Nothing is assumed booked. Read-only; no payment.

Discovered
quote_ride

Get the live fare for a specific Seatac Connection ride, per eligible vehicle, priced exactly as seatac.co checkout prices it. Each vehicle includes a booking_url where the customer reviews and pays. Rate limited; reuse a quote instead of re-requesting it.

Discovered
recommend_hotels_with_rides

Recommend Seattle hotels for a stay with the whole-trip cost: typical room rate for the nights plus the rides the stay needs (Seatac → hotel on check-in day, then hotel → cruise pier or back to Seatac on check-out day). near is a cruise pier (pier-66, pier-91: check-out day is sailing day) or a hotel area. For a pier it also prices a SeaTac airport hotel, so the traveler can see when a cheaper airport room plus rides beats a downtown room. Room links lead; ride links are the add-on. Typical rates and ride estimates, not live prices.

Discovered
search_flights

Live airfares for a trip to or from Seattle (SEA), cheapest first, priced exactly as seatac.co prices them (taxes and fees included, USD). Each result lists the flights, times, stops, fare terms and bags; booking_url opens seatac.co's flight search on the same trip, where the traveler picks the flight and pays. One of origin or destination must be SEA. Rate limited; reuse results instead of re-searching.

Discovered
start_booking

Create a prefilled seatac.co reservation link for the customer to open. They review the trip, enter contact details, and pay on seatac.co. Nothing is booked or charged by this tool.
