Flight to Fairbanks Alaska

Will be taking Alaska Cruise Tour in July 2019.  Will be leaving Phoenix around 7:15 am on 7-2 and flying to Seattle arriving around 10:30am.  My connecting to Fairbanks Ak leaves around 11:20am.  I was wondering is that enough time to catch my connecting flight?  We are Flying Delta for both flights.  Thanks

SEA isn't usually prone to delays (and neither should early departures from PHX).  That's the good news.  Bad news is that DL has expanded at SEA (ending its relationship with AS/QX) so its gates are spread throughout SEA.  It might involve a long walk to/from the ends of the A concourse and/or the people mover to/from the South satellite.

 

Try to sit up front (pay if you have to), walk briskly to the connecting gate and don't stop for a toilet break or coffee until you get there.

Are there later flights?    I'm thinking there should be?   but more important,   Cruisetours  see very little of Fairbanks,  it's worth adding several days and getting a rental car.   Great Arctic fly options.   :)    Have a great trip.

I would not be too concerned.  Chances are good the two gates will be steps from each other in the south satellite, and even if the departing gate is in the main terminal, you can easily get there on the automatic train plus a short walk.  Worst case, you're probably 15 minutes away from your connecting gate, best case, 15 seconds.  Delta's published minimum connection time for domestic to domestic at SEA is 30 minutes.
