Alaska Airlines Transforms Its Anchorage Lounge: An Elevated Experience for Travelers
Alaska Airlines announced this Wednesday the official reopening of its newly renovated Lounge at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. After nearly a year of development and construction, the lounge has been transformed into a spacious oasis, offering more than twice the seating capacity—expanding from 65 to 140 seats—with an additional 2,600 square feet. This space is designed to allow travelers to relax, recharge, and enjoy an enhanced travel experience.
An Investment for the Future
Todd Traynor-Corey, Vice President of Guest Products and Experience at Alaska Airlines, highlighted that “The Anchorage lounge is one of the busiest in our network, and we are excited to welcome our customers to this newly renovated space. This renovation is part of our Great Land Investment Plan, which involves $60 million in projects across the state of Alaska over the next few years. Providing an elevated travel experience is a way to demonstrate our commitment to our passengers and thank them for their loyalty.”
Enhanced Comfort and Services
Conveniently located in Concourse C near Gate C-1, the renovated Alaska Lounge offers a variety of comfortable seating options, including the popular Signature Loungers positioned to provide panoramic views of the runway. Additionally, most seats are near power outlets so travelers can recharge their electronic devices while they relax.

The lounge serves a daily selection of fresh, seasonal food, as well as premium beverages. Travelers can also enjoy handcrafted espresso drinks made with locally roasted beans from Kaladi Brothers, along with a selection of West Coast wines, craft beers, and custom cocktails.
Local Inspiration in the Design
Each airline lounge is designed to reflect the unique character of its city. In Anchorage, modern interiors blend with inspiration drawn from Alaska’s breathtaking natural beauty. Additionally, each year, works by local artists will be displayed, creatively capturing the essence of the state.
Lounge Expansion
The renovation in Anchorage is just one of many significant investments in Alaska Airlines’ Lounge program. Recently, the airline unveiled the first conceptual designs for its largest lounge investment at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. It also announced plans to open a new lounge at San Diego International Airport, followed by an international lounge in Seattle by 2027.
Membership Options
The Alaska Lounge membership program offers two options:
- Standard Membership: Access to all Alaska Airlines Lounges.
- Alaska Lounge+ Membership: Includes access to all Alaska Lounges and nearly 90 partner lounges worldwide.
Alaska Airlines operates nine lounges across six airports: Anchorage, Los Angeles, New York JFK, Portland (two locations), San Francisco, and Seattle (three locations). Members can bring their immediate family or up to two guests at no additional cost.
Exclusive Benefits for First-Class Travelers
Alaska Airlines offers exclusive lounge access for First-Class travelers. Passengers flying on paid or award tickets for flights over 2,000 miles receive complimentary same-day access to the Lounge, a benefit that not all airlines offer.
