My wife and I are in the ANC pop-up lounge at the moment ahead of flying up to FAI.

Can’t really add a lot to what BOB W said but I did take a few photos.

There is a barista bar but they only have drip coffee - they don’t have a machine to do espresso, flat whites etc.

No alcohol as their permit wasn’t approved.

They are meant to be back in the expanded lounge mid-February. Apparently construction is taking place around the clock.

Restrooms are along the upper-level corridor past the TSA office and the Alaska lounge.


Ground floor signage.


Mezzanine level signage.


Entrance to the pop-up lounge.


Barista bar, but no coffee machine.


Fridges with snacks and beverages.


Cinema style seating.


Cafeteria style tables and chairs.


Pop-up marketing for the new lounge.

All in all, it’s not bad and better than nothing for a temporary lounge while they finish renovating and expanding their permanent lounge. Staff were chatty and friendly and had no issues with me taking photos!
