Yes, if you are traveling on a participating airline. We used it last September in Seattle and it was wonderful.

I was hoping for Vancouver! I am thinking of flying out of Seattle but we dock in Vancouver. I have a feeling I know the answer but do you think I could use the luggage plan?

If you will be flying on an airline that participates in the Luggage Direct Program, you most certainly will be able to use this service. We have used LD both times we sailed into Seattle on the Westerdam and on 3 other occasions when we sailed into Seattle on other HAL ships. The link provided by freestyling should answer any remaining questions you may have.

 

Smooth sailing ...
