It’s time for the airlines to spread the wings a bit more at the busiest Lounge. And do a makeover in the process.

This month Alaska Airlines began work to expand and renovate the Lounge at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. When it’s finished this summer, they’ll offer more than double the amount of seating—from 65 seats right now to 135 spots for the members and guests to take a load off and enjoy epic views of the tarmac and beyond.

The expansion will add nearly 2,600 square feet of space that’ll be filled with a variety of comfy chairs and furniture including the popular Signature Loungers that will have prime views. Most seats will have easy access to outlets to keep devices powered and charged. They’re also adding a curated collection of artwork from artists who call the state of Alaska home. 

The Lounges are a place to refresh and recharge. They offer a complimentary selection of fresh, seasonal food items throughout the day for a quick bite to eat. For something to sip, they provide a wide array of beverages including hard-crafted espresso drinks and West Coast wines, brews and custom-crafted cocktails.
