Our newest Alaska Lounge boasts a contemporary
bar with premium beverages, spacious seating areas and hand-crafted
espresso beverages
SAN
FRANCISCO, July 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alaska
Airlines is proud to announce the grand opening of its newest
Alaska Lounge at San Francisco
International Airport's Harvey Milk Terminal 1. The modern and
spacious 11,000 square foot space delivers on our promise to
enhance our network of lounges and offers an unparalleled
pre-flight experience with a welcoming West Coast vibe, open spaces
bathed in natural light and warm finishes.
"Today's unveiling of our elegantly designed Lounge at SFO
represents the culmination of over two years of dedicated
commitment to enhance the way we care for our guests," said
Sangita Woerner, senior vice
president of marketing and guest experience at Alaska Airlines.
"Our Lounges redefine the premium travel experience, providing
top-tier amenities and ample space to escape the hustle and bustle
of the airport, whether you're traveling with Alaska or our oneworld and global
airline partners."
Upon entering our SFO Lounge, guests are transported to a
tranquil retreat. Savor hand-crafted espresso beverages from our
barista station or enjoy a refreshing local craft brew and a glass
of West Coast wine from our contemporary bar. The space exudes
sophistication with sleek, stylish details balanced with an
inviting atmosphere for travelers to unwind.
For our guests who have time to refuel, they'll be able to
indulge on our complimentary selection of food and beverages
designed to satisfy every palate, including our popular sourdough
bread & spreads and candy jars that carry local San Francisco Bay Area favorite sweets. Our
made-to-order pancake machine has become such a beloved
attraction for travelers of all ages that we've added one more for
a total of two in our space.
The SFO Lounge stands as our largest in California with 55% more seating compared to
our previous Lounge at Terminal 2, complete with plug-in outlets
for charging devices at nearly every seat. Each nook is
thoughtfully designed, including a space for travelers with just a
few minutes to recharge and our Signature Loungers positioned by
floor-to-ceiling windows for relaxation with a view. For the first
time, we've installed TalkBox® booths to provide the ultimate
privacy for calls or meetings.
In partnership with William Duff Architects, our Lounge is
designed to secure LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design) Gold certification, reflecting our commitment to
sustainability. The Lounge will achieve certification through
water-efficient measures and the use of low-emitting materials to
reduce energy use.
The opening of the SFO Alaska Lounge marks the completion of our
two-year, $30 million relocation
project to Harvey Milk Terminal 1 and aligns with our $3 billion investment to enhance our
infrastructure and guest experience at our major West Coast
hubs.
Last month, we officially began operating out of Harvey Milk
Terminal 1 and debuted SFO's first automated bag drop technology,
streamlining the travel experience and supporting our long-term
goal of reducing congestion in our lobbies. This move positions us
as the largest carrier at the terminal and sets us up for long-term
growth in San Francisco where we
proudly serve approximately 5 million guests each year.
As we roll out our largest summer schedule in company history --
including the most flights of any airline from SFO to some of the
largest cities on the West Coast with up to eleven daily flights to
Seattle, six daily flights to
Portland and as many as seven
flights to San Diego -- guests can
now enjoy seamless connectivity to our fellow oneworld
Alliance members and global partners for their next domestic or
international flight. From SFO, Alaska and our partners offer over 130 weekly
flights to 18 international destinations.

Lounge at SFO by becoming a Lounge member or purchasing a
