Alaska Airlines is enhancing the popular Lounge network with expansive, modern spaces designed to redefine how guests relax before takeoff. The latest investment is coming to San Diego – a key, growing hub for Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines.

As part of a multi-billion-dollar investment in infrastructure across otheur network to provide a remarkable travel experience, the Alaska Lounge in San Diego will be one of the largest lounges offered by any carrier at the airport. Spanning over 13,000 square feet, Alaska Airlines is designing the Lounge to reflect San Diego’s vibrant local culture. The premium space will bring the best of the Lounges into a modern oasis – from the Signature Loungers for the ultimate comfort, private and quiet work areas, locally inspired refreshments and fresh local bites, a full bar featuring signature cocktails, and a barista station for handcrafted espresso beverages. Construction is slated to begin in early 2027. 

The future Lounge is the latest investment in the growing San Diego hub. Alaska Airlines is proud to offer 45 nonstop destinations from San Diego, the most of any carrier and a distinction the airline has held for years. This year, Alaska expanded travel options for Southern Californians by adding new nonstop service from San Diego to Phoenix, Denver, Chicago O’Hare, Reagan National in Washington D.C., Medford, Oregon, and Sun Valley, Idaho.
