Alaska Lounge Refreshes

We’re investing in our airport lounges as part of a multi-year commitment to refresh and expand our portfolio. Here’s a preview of what’s coming to an Alaska Lounge near you.
What’s new
In the coming months, we’ll be enhancing our lounges in Portland, Anchorage, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Expect refreshed designs and amenities to make your lounge life even better. Here are a few of our favorite additions:
A refreshed look and feel featuring new comfortable furniture, warm finishes and a welcoming vibe;
Barista stations so that you can get your custom-crafted Starbucks® espresso beverages or loose-leaf Teavana® tea just the way you like them from an Alaska Lounge Barista; and
Meals for purchase, starting at just $8. You can buy fresh, filling, high-quality and affordable food to enjoy in the lounges or take to-go.


Looking forward to seeing what AS thinks a flagship lounge should look like, since showers & someone who can make reservation changes aren't part of that vision. The architect's renderings show lots of open space, which looks nice on paper but translates to a loud area with limited seating, and is a bit sterile and plastic-y to boot. Hopefully they learned from the new SEA C lounge that bright light colored fabrics do not hold up well and show stains far too easily.


Also, with paid hot food coming to PDX, maybe they can finally get a full liquor license at that location...
