Seattle is no longer Chili’s-less, and to celebrate, Chili’s is offering airfare for some of its biggest fans to experience the new Seattle-Tacoma International Airport location
DALLAS, July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For years, thousands of Seattle-area fans have flooded Chili’s social channels, inboxes, and comment sections with one simple question: when are you coming back? The moment is finally here. Chili’s® Grill & Bar has returned to the area for the first time in a decade with a new location inside Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, bringing fan-favorites like the Triple Dipper® and Presidente® Margaritas to SEA Airport’s newly expanded Concourse C.
If getting through TSA is the only thing standing between guests and their Triple Dipper, Chili’s is helping by buying flights for select fans to visit.
Through Friday, July 17 at 3 p.m. PT, fans who respond to prompts posted on Chili’s Facebook, Instagram, and X will have the chance to receive a $500 flight credit to grab a pre-boarding marg and Big QP in Concourse C before heading wherever they please. To support the giveaway, Chili’s launched a social video inspired by a certain iconic Seattle-based ’90s film, announcing that the city is Chili’s-less no more.
“Seattle-area guests have been hungry for Chili’s for years, and after thousands of requests, we’re back in the region,” said George Felix, Brinker International chief marketing officer. “Whether guests are heading out, coming home, or passing through, we’re ready to bring a little Chili’s energy – in the form of Triple Dippers and Presidente margs – back to the Seattle area.”
Chili’s is ready to welcome Seattle-area fans and travelers from around the world to Concourse C. Guests can visit the new restaurant, operated by SSP America, and follow Chili’s on Facebook, Instagram and X for giveaway details and official rules.
