SEATTLE - Now one step closer to normalcy, airport officials have announced that baggage claim displays are coming back at Seattle-Tacoma International following a cyberattack on August 24.

In a post to social media Monday evening, those at the airport say the baggage and flight information displays are now phasing in as internal teams finish their final testing.

Prior to this development, FOX 13 reported travelers were waiting in long lines and needing to be guided by staff in green vests all around the terminals.

Some of that coverage can be seen below as we spoke with passengers on August 27, the fourth day of impacted travel:

Sea-Tac Airport cyberattack impacts stretch into fourth day

On Saturday, the Port of Seattle noticed "nefarious characters" on their system, leading to web system outages and delays at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Now, with busy Labor Day travel conditions expected, the incident reaches into its fourth day.

As Labor Day travel hit its expected peak at Sea-Tac Airport today, those flying out of Seattle were still recommended to arrive two hours early for domestic flights and three hours for international destinations.
