- patch_cable 3y agoAnd it is so much better I routinely pay hundreds more to fly out of Paine Field.
- jethro_tell 3y agoIts hit or miss if you can get the flight you need or of there and it always costs more from what I can see.
- bombcar 3y agoPaine Field is also unnaturally large for a "little suburban airport" because it's the site of the largest building in the world, because it's a Boeing assembly plant.
- BHSPitMonkey 3y agoAre you thinking of Boeing Field? Paine is a tiny little luxury airport with 4 gates.
- mikestew 3y agoMaybe you've got them reversed? I've never been to Boeing Field, but I've been to Paine, and... "Paine Field is home to the Boeing Everett Factory, the world's largest building by volume..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paine_Field https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paine_Field
- bombcar 3y agoExactly. Paine Field is tiny as a commuter airport, but it's got huge tracks of land (it's more than half the size of SEATAC and has a 9000 ft runway).
- BHSPitMonkey 3y agoI've been to Paine, and apparently I just ignored everything outside of the passenger facility. Oops!
