Well, yeah, but I mean... Alaska Lounge?
It's not exactly a high standards place.
And before someone comes and accuses me of complaining (which, yeah, fine), I really like most of the product that Alaska Airlines offers.
But the lounge experience is not one of them.
As I ranted in another thread in August, having visited the nearly new SEA C lounge and the LAX lounge this summer, I'd never in a million years actually PAY for that experience.
Especially since the pancake machine had a sign on it that said "Broken."
At that point, you've just got a room full of dirty chairs with no power outlets.
SO. It will be interesting to see what this refresh yields! I hope for some serious improvements.
EDIT TO ADD: the pics of the SEA N-gates lounge look fantastic, but as someone else already said, I see seating for about, what, 20 people? In a room that looks to be about 1000 sq ft?
