Summary:
- Alaska Airlines global lounge to open at SEA in 2027, becoming the largest airline lounge in Seattle with 41,000 sq ft and 700 seats.

Alaska Airlines – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – is to open a new, world-class lounge at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, a key part of its broader investment in the global customer experience.
When it opens in late-2027, the new global Alaska Lounge will become the largest airline lounge in Seattle and one of the largest in the country. Spanning more than 41,000 square feet, with approximately 700 seats across two levels, the sophisticated design will feature showers, multiple premium bars, à la carte dining and chef-curated seasonal menus, unlike anything else in the Alaska Lounge network.
The main level will welcome Alaska Lounge members, day-pass guests and eligible First Class guests. The upper level will be dedicated to international long-haul travellers, serving Suites and lie-flat guests as well as eligible Atmos Titanium members travelling internationally. Both floors will feature freshly prepared locally inspired food, Pacific Northwest beers and craft cocktails, and hand-crafted espresso beverages.
Located in Seattle’s newly refreshed C Concourse, the Alaska Lounge will offer expansive views of the Olympic Mountains and the airfield below. The project is part of Alaska’s multimillion-dollar investment in its lounge network, which includes a new location in Portland opening this summer, along with the carrier’s first lounge in San Diego and a new, expanded lounge in Honolulu, both scheduled for early 2028.
