Pangborn Memorial (EAT) Airport Limo Service

Stretch Limo Service to and from Pangborn Memorial (EAT) Airport

Pangborn Memorial Airport sits on the East Wenatchee bench above the Columbia River, and every Alaska Airlines arrival there lands within a short drive of orchards, wineries, and the largest ski area in North Central Washington. Our Pangborn Memorial (EAT) Airport limo service gives travelers across Washington, WA a chauffeured ride that is already waiting at the terminal curb when the aircraft reaches the gate. Union Limousine pairs a professionally trained chauffeur with a late model vehicle, tracks your Horizon Air flight from Seattle or Portland in real time, and delivers you to Wenatchee, Leavenworth, Chelan, or any address in the valley on your schedule. This page is part of our statewide Washington airport limo service, and it covers everything you need to reserve a ride at EAT with confidence.

Chauffeured Arrivals and Departures at Pangborn Memorial Airport

EAT is a small airport with a single terminal, which makes a prearranged pickup refreshingly simple. Your chauffeur monitors the inbound flight, positions the vehicle in the arrivals lane as the wheels touch down, and meets you at baggage claim with a name board if you prefer a personal greeting. Bags go straight into the trunk or cargo bay, and you are rolling toward Grant Road within minutes. For departures, we calculate the pickup time from your home or hotel using live pass conditions on US 2 and US 97, so a snowy morning on Stevens Pass or Blewett Pass never costs you a flight.

Every reservation includes flat rate pricing quoted before you book, complimentary wait time on arrivals, and a chauffeur who knows the valley well enough to route around harvest traffic on Wenatchee Avenue or event crowds at Town Toyota Center. Reserve a one way airport transfer, a round trip, or hourly service for a full day of meetings and tastings.

Who Books an EAT Airport Limo in Washington?

Pangborn serves a mix of travelers, and our limo service is shaped around the three groups we see most often at the East Wenatchee terminal.

Business Travel Between Wenatchee and the Puget Sound

Executives from the fruit industry, hydropower utilities, and the growing tech and data center cluster in Quincy fly through EAT several times a month. A chauffeured sedan lets them take calls on the ride to Pangborn, and our limo service in Washington extends the same standard to the Seattle end of the trip. Clients who continue to downtown Seattle or Bellevue after the Horizon hop can pair this booking with our SeaTac airport limo service so one company handles both airports and one invoice covers the whole journey.

Wine Country, Leavenworth and Lake Chelan Getaways

Leisure travelers use EAT as the front door to over forty wineries in the Wenatchee and Lake Chelan AVAs, the Bavarian storefronts of Leavenworth, and summer lake weekends in Chelan and Manson. A private SUV or Sprinter van turns the drive from the airport into the first stop of the vacation, with room for coolers, wine cases, and luggage for the whole party.

Weddings, Reunions and Group Celebrations

Vineyard weddings, family reunions at Lake Wenatchee, and company retreats at Sleeping Lady or Campbell's Resort bring guests from across the country into Pangborn on the same afternoon. We stage stretch limousines, party buses, and charter buses at the terminal so entire guest lists arrive together, and we coordinate return runs to match the Seattle and Portland departure board.

Pangborn Memorial (EAT) Airport Information

Travelers who have only flown through Seattle or Spokane are often surprised by how easy Pangborn is to use. The details below cover history, airlines, the terminal, parking, and the smartest way to leave the property once you land.

• Airport name: Pangborn Memorial Airport, airport code EAT
• Address: 1 Pangborn Dr, East Wenatchee, WA 98802, United States
• Phone: +1 509 884 2494
• Official website: flywenatchee.com

History and Regional Importance

The airfield opened in 1941 and takes its name from Clyde Pangborn, the Washington aviator who, with Hugh Herndon, completed the first nonstop flight across the Pacific Ocean in 1931, a 41 hour journey from Misawa, Japan, that ended on a field outside East Wenatchee. Northwest Airlines launched the first scheduled passenger flights in 1945, and the City of Wenatchee transferred ownership to the Port of Chelan County in 1965 in recognition of the airport's value to the whole region. Today the property is owned by the Ports of Chelan and Douglas Counties and run by the Chelan Douglas Regional Port Authority. A $30 million project completed in 2016 extended the primary runway, Runway 12/30, to 7,000 feet so that mainline jets such as the Boeing 737 can use the field. The airport covers 665 acres at an elevation of 1,249 feet and is the only commercial air link for a four county region that includes Chelan, Douglas, Okanogan, and Grant Counties.

Airlines and Domestic Destinations

Alaska Airlines, through its regional partner Horizon Air, is the only scheduled carrier at EAT. Multiple daily flights connect Wenatchee with Seattle, where travelers connect to Alaska's full network across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. On October 3, 2026, the Port Authority added a daily nonstop to Portland, giving the valley a second hub and a second set of onward connections. General aviation, charter operators, medical flights, and the Washington Army National Guard also use the field, and Pangborn hosts a popular air show on alternating years.

Terminal Layout and Passenger Traffic

Pangborn operates one compact passenger terminal with the Alaska Airlines ticket counter and self service kiosks, a single TSA security checkpoint, a gate hold room, and a baggage claim area, all on one level. Free WiFi, a conference room, a café space, and an onsite rental car counter round out the amenities. The airport set a traffic record in 2019 with 127,967 total passengers, placing it in the FAA's nonhub category, and traffic has rebuilt steadily since the pandemic with the Portland route expected to push the totals higher.

Parking at Pangborn

The Port Authority manages separate short term and long term surface lots beside the terminal, and since February 1, 2026, all airport parking must be prepaid online, by texting the word PAY to 509 646 2647, or at the kiosk inside the terminal near the Alaska counter. Vehicles that are not prepaid are charged a higher walk up rate of $23 per day in the short term lot and $20 per day in the long term lot. EV charging and accessible stalls sit close to the entrance, and the lots are open air with no covered or valet options. Parking questions go to the Port Authority parking line at 509 888 0225.

Pickup and Drop Off Guidance

All arrivals and departures use the single curb lane directly in front of the terminal doors on Pangborn Drive. Drop offs take a minute or two at the curb, and drivers meeting a passenger can wait in the free cell phone waiting area until the flight is on the ground. Our chauffeurs either greet you inside at baggage claim or wait at the curb with the vehicle, whichever you selected at booking, and we handle the timing so nobody circles the loop.

Ground Transportation Choices

Hertz operates a counter inside the terminal and Enterprise serves the airport from its Wenatchee Avenue branch. Link Transit Route 15 now stops at the terminal on a fixed schedule for travelers heading into Wenatchee or East Wenatchee, and two local shuttle operators cover Leavenworth and the broader valley. Uber and Lyft drivers are limited in the area and can be scarce late at night or on holiday weekends. Travelers who want a guaranteed vehicle at a fixed price book our EAT airport car service in advance and avoid the uncertainty altogether.

Tips for Arriving Passengers

• Carry a REAL ID compliant license or passport, since the checkpoint enforces federal identification rules
• Arrive at the terminal at least 90 minutes before an Alaska departure during summer and holiday peaks
• Check pass conditions on US 2 and US 97 in winter before driving west, since closures can add hours
• Dress for the weather in the valley, which runs hotter in summer and colder in winter than Seattle
• Confirm your chauffeur pickup location the day before so the handoff at the curb is instant

Why a Prebooked Chauffeur Beats Taxis and Rideshare at EAT?

A small market airport rewards travelers who reserve ahead. Taxi availability at Pangborn depends on who is parked outside when your flight lands, rideshare coverage thins out after dark, and shuttle schedules do not bend around a delayed Horizon flight. A prebooked chauffeur solves all three problems at once: the vehicle is reserved for you, the price is fixed before you leave home, and the pickup time moves automatically with your flight. Add a chauffeur who knows the mountain roads, and the convenience gap becomes obvious.
