News / Alaska Airlines refreshes their Lounges with new spaces and amenities
Multimillion-dollar renovations add more seating and food and beverage choices; Seattle C Concourse Lounge expansion opens next week in time for holidays
Alaska Airlines knows their guests love the Lounges at Alaska Airlines – spaces filled with a West Coast vibe to kick back and unwind or get a little work done. Since 2018, Alaska Airlines has doubled the footprint in their Lounges and invested $30 million in overall improvements, including the award-winning Flagship Lounge at the N Concourse in Seattle, the new Lounge in San Francisco and a new patio space at Concourse C Lounge in Portland.
Alaska Airlines continues to invest in upgrades to make their Lounges better (and bigger) than ever. They are currently focusing on remodeling and renovating the additional popular locations in Seattle, adding amenities that mean the most to Alaska Airlines' Lounge members.
Here’s what’s happening across Alaska Airlines' Lounges:
Just in time for the holidays, Alaska Airlines' expanded C Concourse Lounge at their hometown airport in Seattle opens next week. With an additional 3,000 square feet, Alaska Airlines has doubled the seating space with enough room for 60 more seats. Great views of the tarmac remain unchanged.
When the busy holiday season wraps up, the second phase of renovations in Seattle begins on Jan. 7, 2023, after the D Concourse Lounge closes for a complete overhaul. It’s set to reopen in summer 2023. The location will have 30% more seating, a new barista station, new food and beverage offerings, and an improved layout.
Alaska Airlines has invested $1.5 million for Lounge upgrades in Portland this year. Along with expanding Alaska Airlines' current Lounge by 1,000 square feet with the addition of an enclosed patio area, they've also added an Express Lounge at Concourse B to give their guests more options.
At Alaska Airlines' Lounges in Los Angeles and San Francisco, they're brightening the spaces with modern furniture and other touches. At LAX, the airline has installed new artwork by local artists.
Guests at Alaska Airlines' Lounges can enjoy a wide variety of complimentary West Coast craft beers and sip featured West Coast wines. At select locations, Alaska Airlines has also expanding their hot food options that are served throughout the day.
Alaska Airlines always wants their Lounge members to have the best possible experience when stopping by one of the airline's locations. The airline provides complimentary drinks and snacks such as West Coast wines, local brews, custom cocktails, hand-crafted espresso beverages, and fresh, seasonal food and snacks. Plus Alaska Airlines allows entry for two guests or immediate family members when traveling together anytime they fly on Alaska or another carrier.
The Alaska Lounge Membership Program offers two options for guests to choose from: Alaska Lounge members access all their Lounge locations, and Alaska Lounge+ members access all the airline's Lounges and more than 90 partner lounges around the world. Alaska operates nine Lounges at six airports: Anchorage; Los Angeles; New York JFK; Portland (two locations); San Francisco; and Seattle (three locations).
