Alaska Airlines Reopens D Concourse Lounge in Seattle
After a massive makeover that took more than five months, Alaska Airlines today has reopened one of its most popular lounges. The airline has invested $30 million in lounge improvements in the past five years.
As of today, June 21, the renovated D Concourse Lounge in Seattle is open for business and welcoming guests once again. This is the site’s first full renovation in nearly 20 years.
The newly revamped space has 50% more seating including the popular loungers on the mezzanine level for sitting back, relaxing and enjoying the terrific views.
The lounge has a new barista station that is conveniently located on the first level so members and guests can grab a quick, hand-crafted espresso beverage or brewed coffee to go. This is a frequent request by travelers on their way to their gate.
There’s also a better layout that’s easier to move through with a proper bar space to order complimentary craft brews, and West Coast wines and spirits. The lounge has also expanded the hot food options that are served throughout the day.
The redesigned Lounge features artwork by influential Coast Salish artist and renowned advocate for cultural artists, Louie Gong (Nooksack).
More Improvements and New Lounges
Besides the D Concourse Lounge, the airline also expanded the C Concourse Lounge in Seattle by 3,000 square feet and added 60 more seats. In Portland, it opened a new patio space at Concourse C Lounge along with an ‘express lounge’ at the newly renovated Concourse B.
In San Francisco, plans will soon be finalized for a new lounge at Harvey Milk Terminal 1 as the airline moves operations there in 2024. The all-new Flagship Lounge for Portland is currently scheduled to open in the 2025-26 with more than 10,000 square feet of space.
Alaska Lounges
Alaska operates nine Lounges at six airports: Anchorage; Los Angeles; New York JFK; Portland (two locations); San Francisco; and Seattle (three locations).
Lounge members are welcome to bring their immediate family members or up to two guests into the Lounge at no additional charge. Alaska MVP Gold, Gold 75K and Gold 100K members can enjoy Lounge access when they travel on a oneworld member airline to a destination outside of the U.S., Canada or Mexico.
Lounge access is also available for First Class guests on flights of more than 2,100 miles. Those guests traveling on a paid or award First Class ticket on long-haul and coast-to-coast flights have same-day access to Alaska Lounges.
