View is in this lounge, especially for those aviation enthusiasts. Food was pretty bad, very limited selections. Service was average American standard. I don't expect to get the same level of service as the Asian airlines I just flew with. Great coffee bar and alcohols. read more

I was super excited to use my lounge pass here and was thoroughly disappointed once I walked in. Barely any seats as it was just so crowded. This is a very big space but when we finally found a table, it was dirty. You're supposed to take your own dishes off the table when you leave. However, I noticed a lot of people just leaving a big mess. Floors had crumbs all over, too. The chairs were gross as they looked stained. The food was nothing special with deli meats, cheese, cookies, muffins, and some pasta with meatball. They also have a salad, bar, a guy serving espresso. They need to step up their food choices and less bland foods. As the main hub lounge, you would think they would blow your socks off! Nope... dirty, crowded and nothing special. read more

Performance: 5 Staff was some of the nicest people I've ever seen working in an airport, amazing service, bartenders were hilarious. Environment: 3 I mean, it's an airport, what can I say. I've seen nicer and I think there's a lot they could do better, but overall perfectly neutral airport. Meals: 2 If you're expecting a full meal, go somewhere else. Kinda what you'd expect, small buffet area, mostly just cheeses that weren't that good. Drinks: 4 For a bar in an airport lounge, it was amazing. lot's of alcoholic and regular options, very flexible, tasted great. Atmosphere: 2 Fine. Didn't feel too crowded, but the vibe was off in upper area and there was wrappers and crumbs all over the floor and seats. Space: 4 Design was amazing, artistic arches and stuff, bathrooms were small and unclean, upholstery looked like it's never been replaced once. read more

This place is going downhill fast. It's often more crowded, and more sloppy than the actual airport. To get away from the crowds you have to actually...leave the lounge now, insane. Bathrooms are inadequate for the amount of people in here, longer lines for the lounge bathroom than for the airport bathrooms. Food is still just as bad as ever. Basic slop you'd find at at Motel 6 free breakfast. How is it that the food here is WAY WORSE than the food they give ON THE PLANE? Mind-boggling. A fruit and cheese platter is better than any food I've had in my 50+ visits here. Worth coming in if you have a lounge membership from Titanium status or if you are flying FC. I would NEVER recommend buying a day pass to this shit-show though, your money would be much better spent elsewhere in the airport. read more

The Lounge is big & the food is great. Staff super friendly & helpful. They have a huge bar area. Plenty of seating to watch the airplanes and near the fireplace. Plenty of tables to work on your computer. Long couches to spread out and relaxing loungers to elevate your feet. The food was excellent. All healthy items. Something hot like a creamy pasta Alfredo and minestrone soup to something cold like their salad bar and ice cream bar. I love this airline and it's my go to airline in all my yolo solo travel and adventures. Until next time, see you some more on Yelp read more

Whoa, this lounge is huge! Check-in went fine with a day pass that I had written down the code for. You can use other people's passes and there is definitely a secondhand market for them, since people get passes from vouchers or their credit cards. There is a hot food buffet in the middle and a bar on one side. I was there for breakfast and they also had a coffee bar with a holiday special (the peppermint mocha). The breakfast offering was pretty standard; I'd compare it to a hotel breakfast. The cappuccino was decently strong, a good surprise. The bar does need to see the second person if you're getting two drinks. They had six local beers on tap while I was there and I enjoyed the Reuben Hazealicious IPA. Most seating have hidden outlets somewhere. I ended up at a high table near the bar and the outlets were under the table. The bathrooms were surprisingly small? At least the one near the entrance I went to. Overall, solid value for less than $20 if you're there for an hour or two, wouldn't go at ticket price. read more

The Alaska lounge at SeaTac is top notch. Easy access with no waitlist, unlike the Amex lounge. The food options are definitely quality over quantity. Soup, salad bar and a rotation of hot foods. Absolutely love the barista bar - high quality coffee made to order that would normally cost you $7-8 at Starbucks. Environment is welcoming with excellent design and clean bathrooms. My whole family enjoyed our experience. Only con is that you have to clean your own tables and put away dishes. Totally fine if everyone was courteous and followed the rules. But many tables with empty dishes. read more

I like this lounge! It's so new and exciting and doesn't have the dated 80s look of some of the other lounges. It is full most times during the day, so hard to get a good spot. People also kind of spread out, so it's harder to find a spot if you have luggage too. Luckily, this is the kind of lounge where it feels comfortable to leave your luggage at your seat while you use the restroom if you are a solo traveller. The food is pretty good. Not really a meal, but they are consistent with their snacks. I wouldn't come hungry, but it's nice to grab some bites before a flight. They also have a full bar and a skilled bartender, so you can order something fun! Not all drinks are included, but there is a decent complimentary wine list. I do get excited when I have the chance to go before a flight! read more

Located on the second floor in the north terminal at the Seattle Tacoma International Airport, this is currently the largest Alaska lounge in the airport. I got here a little early for a morning flight, and the lounge was fairly empty and quiet. In the center of the lounge, there is a bar where you can order drinks and they will also make you specialty coffees as well. There are also two automated specialty coffee machines in the other side of the lounge where you can get a latte or mocha of your choosing. Probably the most amazing part of this lounge is that it looks towards the main runway, and you can sit and watch aircraft takeoff, and land from a very comfortable seat. There was lots of food options, but I didn't want to overload too much so I opted for yogurt and granola just to hold me over. The seating options are plentiful from cafeteria type of seating with tables to eat and large lounge chairs to just sit back, relax and watch through the floor to ceiling windows. Thankfully, I get two passes every three months from my credit card so I will make it a point to visit this specific lounge next time I'm flying out of this airport. read more

Comfortable and spacious place to spend a few hours before a flight. We went on a Thursday at around two and almost every window seat was taken, but there was still more than enough seating with comparable views. The look of the lounge is modern and spacious which provides a nice contrast to the busy outside airport. Good complimentary drink selection - we had a local cider and local wine, both delicious. The buffet was Korean themed on the day we went - while it is not the best food I've ever had in my life it was perfectly edible. I did particularly enjoy the green beans, of all things. Lots of options for grab and go snacks, too, and they had a soda machine like Taco Time/the movies which I appreciated. The bathrooms were also clean and quiet and nice, which I appreciated for an airport. read more

Not a Seattlite, but have been to this lounge a few times before catching a longhaul flight to Asia, most recently the SEA-ICN route on Hawaiian Air's B787 Leihōkū Suites. Although this lounge can get crowded, we had no issues finding seating, and moving when even better seating opened up! The bathrooms are well maintained, the bar is well stocked, and the view for planespotting is great. I'm a fan of the dark wood interior as well, but I can see it being a bit drab on a cloudy day. The complimentary handcrafted espresso drink bar is lovely too, and I appreciate that all Alaska lounges offer this (I run on coffee, don't @ me bro) Pro-tip, if you have the Atmos Summit card, you get 2 (at least *wink wink*) of the card-exclusisive Summit Sunset cocktails, which is a Woodford Reserve bourbon cocktail. I don't drink, but my hubs does, so he really enjoyed them! Lots of people at the bar were asking about the drink, so it felt pretty cool to order them! I do find Alaska's lounge much less crowded than the Amex Centurion Lounge, although I would say there's more food options at the latter. read more

Very comfortable spot to work and hang out while waiting for your flight. Unfortunately the food isn't very good. Baked goods are not that fresh. Meal options are limited and bland (make your own pancake machine? Come on!). They do have a soda machine and espresso bar as well as free drinks (drunk people won't complain?). Relaxing areas to sit, work, and wait lift up the overall rating to 3 stars but not a great value for your money. read more

For Alaska Lounge standards, the North Satellite location is most deserving of its flagship status as an oasis in the chaos that is Sea-Tec airport. WIth its tall ceilings, modern decor, and nearly 16,000 sq ft of open layout space, it is indeed a comfortable retreat before boarding any flight. Seasoned lounge goers may balk at the lack of premium options, but trust this is still a good overall lounge that's worth a visit. There was a time when Priority Pass was accepted here, which only meant the lounge was as crowded as the rest of the airport during peak daytime hours. That has since subsided, resulting in a more relaxing time during the bustling mornings and the low key evening service. The communal tables and high-back chairs give a nice contemporary touch that actually resembles a lounge, along with cozy nooks near their central fireplace which is perfect for the views of the tarmac. The food offerings aren't particularly impressive for a flagship lounge, but it more substantial than the average snack tray and plentiful enough to enjoy different meals throughout the various breakfast, lunch, and dinner service. The hour between lunch and dinner (4:30-5:00pm) is my favorite time to dine, since the shift change makes for a nice selection of hot and cold foods. Their soups are my favorite, especially the creamy chicken barley and wild rice. I could bottle it up and take it home. Their bar is nice and large, with a nice variety of spirits, regional wines, and a dozen local beers on tap. It is the most social area of the entire space and the bartenders and local staff are usually the best part. Imbibe enough and one will find that the bathrooms are on the smaller side, but at least the non-alcoholic options (#1) are more abundant than anything else. Even when my flights are delayed, I find solace with plenty of snacking, a little drinking, and lots of indulgent sessions with their ultra-fast WiFi. It's not the world's most bougie lounge, but more than does the job for yours truly. ____________ (#1) Read: an excellent all-in-one soda / juice machine along with a full on coffee bar and some serious barista action. read more

I am stunned at how filthy this lounge is. Dirty seats, grimy tables, and an overall lack of cleanliness make it hard to believe I paid $600 to sit in this kind of environment. What makes it even more frustrating is that the staff seem quick to approach and disrupt you over the smallest things, yet somehow haven't found the time to actually clean the place. I've been up since 3 a.m., and I was hoping for even a brief moment to close my eyes. Instead, in less than an hour, I was woken up twice by staff for pointless reasons. If they spent half as much time cleaning as they do hovering and harassing tired travelers, maybe the lounge wouldn't feel so neglected. Overall, this was a complete waste of money and one of the most disappointing lounge experiences I've ever had. read more

Alaska Lounge - North Satellite - Airport Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Hahaha. These pampered reviewers leave 3 stars and less because of the following. Allow me to retort. - Floor Space: 16000 sq ft. Have you been in the new Centurion Lounge or any of the Delta Lounges? You can barely scratch your nose or change your thoughts. This is the best reason for coming to this lounge. - Food / Drinks / Coffee: yeah. I can't argue too much. But there's hot and cold food and hot soups and pastries depending on the time of day. Are they as good as a Chase Sapphire or Amex Centurion lounge? No, but their food is tasty though under seasoned sometimes. But I always enjoy a cup of soup or hot dish. Or you can stand in line downstairs with everyone to get something comparable. Up to you. "Well drinks" are free but you can order up and pay the difference. Alaska delivers. - Access: if you don't have access rights, you shouldn't complain. You're petty if you do. I don't have a Capital One card, so I understand that their lounge is out of bounds. Next. -Facilities: Clean. Available. If you have a newborn, there's a dedicated room for nursing and change platforms are in the restrooms. And... lots of floor space too for the toddlers and influencers to run around in. I've never been to the Qatar First Class lounge but I have been to the JAL First Class lounge at Haneda. This lounge doesn't fit in the same category. While it's also not a Polaris or AA Flagship Dining lounge, it works well. If you're able to, spend some time in here and appreciate what it does. Just like I do. Safe travels all. read more

The North Satellite Alaska Lounge is a bit of a mixed bag, offering a spacious setting with some nice amenities, but with a few notable drawbacks. On the plus side, the lounge itself is incredibly spacious, which is a huge advantage when it comes to comfort and having a quiet place to relax. There's plenty of seating, and the overall layout feels open and modern, with an inviting ambiance that allows for a calm environment away from the bustle of the terminal. Unfortunately, the food options were a letdown. Even after the recent expansion, I was hoping for an upgrade to the menu that would bring it closer to what you'd find in the Centurion Lounge or other premium lounges. Instead, the selection remains limited and not particularly exciting. The offerings felt similar to what was served during the pandemic, and for the price of access, I'd expect more variety and higher-quality choices. If food is a major factor for you, this might not meet your expectations. On the drink side, the lounge really shines--if you drink alcohol. The bar is large and well-stocked, with a broad range of drink options that should satisfy most people looking to unwind with a cocktail or glass of wine. However, if you don't drink alcohol, your choices are pretty basic: coffee, soda, and water. I would love to see more non-alcoholic options, perhaps some premium teas, fresh juices, or a more creative selection to make non-drinkers feel equally catered to. One area that could also use some improvement is cleanliness. While the bathrooms were spacious and clean, certain areas of the lounge itself seemed a bit neglected. It wasn't anything overly concerning, but for a lounge of this caliber, I expected more attention to detail in terms of cleanliness. Tables were sometimes left uncleaned for too long, and certain areas looked like they hadn't been tidied as frequently as they should. Overall, I'd return to the North Satellite Alaska Lounge because of the comfortable, spacious environment and the ample seating options. It's a decent place to relax and unwind, but I'd love to see some upgrades to the food quality and a bit more attention to cleanliness to bring the experience in line with other premium lounges. If Alaska Airlines invests in these areas, this lounge has the potential to become a true standout. read more

When I lived in the Seattle area in the 2000s, I flew on Alaska Airlines most of the time. In my opinion it was the best U.S. airline and probably still is (though Delta has made great strides in recent years). I usually spent my time at SeaTac in the Alaska Board Room or the United Red Carpet Club, located unfortunately in the dungeon of the N satellite concourse. Much has changed in the years since then, and United dehubbed Seattle and vacated the N gates for a smaller presence in the main terminal. Alaska took over and conducted a major renovation of N. I recently flew into Seattle for the first time in over 10 years and I was able to checkout the new lounge. Wow. The satellite has been completely transformed with high ceilings and glass walls that bring huge amounts of natural light into the space. There are many great food and shopping outlets now on the concourse. Furthermore, Alaska chose to build upwards and put their new flagship lounge on the mezzanine above the concourse. It is accessed by escalators which I absolutely love, just as with the UA lounges on the Denver B concourse. Most places have creaky, cramped, slow elevators you must traverse to get into the lounge. The light and bright vibe continues inside, with high ceilings and vast spaces with a variety of seating options. The glass walls provide excellent views of the airside operations which for me provides endless entertainment. Eschewing the typical club chairs, you can enjoy real reclining loungers with reading lamps that offer unparalleled privacy and comfort. There are curving nooks with banquette seating and comfy places to relax around a circular fireplace. Food and beverages are also much better than your typical domestic lounge. Despite the late hour of my arrival, I was able to choose from actual cold cuts and freshly baked buns for sandwiches, a couple of soups, hot entrees including real chicken skewers with real tzatziki sauce, fresh veggies, salsa and chips, and more. While not haute cuisine, it's definitely a step above their competition. The club spaces are staffed with friendly and attentive folks that keep the place immaculate. I suspect they're very proud of their lounge, and they should be. For my money, it's the best domestic lounge in the U.S. This does not include AA Flagship Dining, or the AMEX Centurion Lounge which aren't as accessible to the general flyer or don't serve the volume of traffic that come here. Well done, Alaska Airlines, well done. Highly recommended. read more

Had an interesting experience at the lounge. We got there very early to the airport before our flight so we're excited to try the lounge. We hadn't been there since they took away accepting priority pass. One person in our group was gluten free and they had basically a cookie, muffin, plain chicken and edamame to eat in the entire place. They had great food for others, just frustrating they didn't have any options for those with a gluten allergy. Drinks were okay, they seemed to be pushing the higher end liquor which you had to pay for. They also seemed to ID certain people more than others. Not sure we will be back. read more

This spacious Alaska Lounge is in the North Terminal, AKA "N," on the mezzanine level, which you can access via an escalator or elevator. Terminals B and C also have Alaska lounges. It has good WiFi, allowing me to post this Yelp. Be sure to look for the password sign when you're checking in at the front counter. The day I was there it was "Pancakes"! So much seating, there's a spot for everyone. Plus, it has an excellent view of the runways and mountains. You'll find all the usual features here with food stations for breakfast or lunch and a full bar. I enjoyed having a fresh latte made. I was glad if the barista asked me if I wanted it flavored, because that gave me the idea to add hazelnut syrup. Delicious. One cute feature is a "pancake printer," which is an automated station that makes your pancakes to order. I had to do to operate. It is press the button and make sure your plate is at the end of the conveyor belt to catch it. Even an adult can operate it! Speaking of adults, the bartenders are extremely friendly. Plus, they can make a great Bloody Mary. My flight was delayed so I got a mimosa too. The Alaska Lounge made a nice day out of a crowded airport and a bummer flight delay. Not a bad program. read more

Recently rehabbed lounge. This one looks great but has the least comfortable seating I have ever found in a lounge. While the banquets look plush they are hard as rocks. The "recliners" are pre-reclined and are frozen in position. They are also pretty hard. I saw a handicapped customer get back in their wheel chair because the recliners were less comfortable than the wheelchair. Noted more people standing by their recliners than sitting on them. In the late afternoon in May the seating along the windows is in direct sunlight and get uncomfortably hot. I have seen other lounges drop the shades when the sun is shining directly in. Just sayin'. "Welcome but don't get too comfortable". Thats pretty much the theme here. I took off two stars for the hard seating. The food is superior to AA Admirals clubs. If you have a choice between the two, always eat at the Alaska club. There is way more variety. For example for the couple of hours we spent here there were four different entrees and six soups. They have a sandwich bar too. They feature vegan and gluten free selections. There is a coffee bar with baristas and lots of baked treats. There is also traditional cocktail bar too. The staff are all super friendly. Alaska has a bewildering entry policy. If you are an AA Executive card holder like me you are golden, come on in. Everyone else has a complex set of entry rules. I think the front desk turned away more people than admitted. If you are on Alaska first class do not assume access. They calculate the distance to your destination to determine your eligibility for free entry. Watched some PO-ed Alaska first class customers who did not meet the minimum 2k mile to destination threshold. Also forget about using priority pass here. Thats a hard no. They also throttle entry. The lounge was full none the less. The view of the runway is amazing. Overall, it is way better than sitting out on the concourse. The location is super convenient to all N gates. read more

Alaska upped its game with the remodel. Great seating I including private areas, reclining seats and barstools. The food caters to a broad spectrum, including vegan chili, great salad and of course booze and cookies. They still maintain the diy robot pancake machine too as well as adding the taco time five guys coke machine with a the flavors as well as a automated and full service espresso bar. Alaska's mantra is mainly self service so you're expected to bus your own plates. 400 for the year membership is a steal. Quick tip: stop there after you land as the airport food closes earlier and outside the airport food sucks read more

Alaska Lounge - North Satellite - This chair is seriously SO comfy... I could sleep here! - Airport Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

The nicest of the Alaska Lounges and certainly one of the highlights of the complete overhaul of N gates during the last five years. And yet, despite the loving nod to the PNW in the aesthetic design of this very nice space, in the end it's just another Alaska lounge. This lounge definitely makes a good first impression compared to some of the other Alaska lounges. It's particularly striking compared to the likes of many other domestic airline lounges that are really just glorified waiting rooms with drinks and dip. If you want to visit one of Alaska's three lounges at Seatac and are either leaving from N gates or have some time to kill, this is definitely the one to choose. Unfortunately, the food here is just like the other lounges in that it's generous to call it food. There's nothing really resembling a meal but there are plenty of snacks, some soup, some coffee, and as appears to be their brand, a pancake heater. Fortunately the bar will do although you will have to pay for the more premium stuff. I have decided not to renew my Lounge Pass+ this year because it is just not worth it to have access to Alaska and American Airlines Admirals Clubs lounges. If you're into lounges, I'd recommend getting an Amex Plat instead which costs you a couple hundred dollars a year more than an Alaska Lounge pass but with access to way, way better lounges and thousands of dollars more in perks; I mean if you're considering buying lounge access you're probably traveling enough to make a travel card like the Amex worth the yearly fee. Keep in mind this lounge is at N gates so you'll need to take a tram over here if you're not already leaving from the terminal. read more

I've been an Alaska lounge member since 2016 and was super excited when this branch opened! This is one of the nicest lounges (tying with SFO's new lounge) and I hit them all as I travel! My first stop is always the cappuccino bar where I've consistently gotten great service and fab cappuccinos, today was no exception. While they don't advertise it, I'll tell you a secret.. Shhhh! The granola on the yogurt bar is Amy's granola, which means it's gluten free! Full of nuts and coconut, that's some of the best granola in the Pacific Northwest! High quality food offerings combined with a fabulous Alaska airline staff makes this lounge worth getting up early for! I work an extra hour in to my travel schedule solely to come enjoy the food, wifi, ambiance and relaxing space! read more

A 16,000 + square ft flagship lounge above the N gates - until their future 24,000 lounge at the C & D gates overtakes it. Do you want to be in heaven as you fly out of SEA? Be a Oneworld Emerald or Sapphire, be booked in first class, or an Alaska Lounge member. Amex and Priority Pass member? Sorry, go elsewhere. 30 foot windows on three sides. Straight ahead, full on view of the runway with the Olympic Mountains in the background (breathtaking sunset views, I'm told). To the right (North), glimpses of Seattle's high rise skyline. To the left, views of Mount Rainier. The people here are completely people oriented and happy to strike up a conversation. Children and dogs tolerated. Comfy shells you can snuggle into. Quiet areas (although some travelers just lack the courtesy). A modest satisfying cold buffet and two regularly rotating soup selections. Packaged snacks. Gingersnap, snickerdoodle, chocolate chip, oatmeal cookies. Their signature pancake machine. A Coca Cola freestyle machine - meaning a very full selection of their products at a touch. Starbucks and Teavana self serve. Freshly made lattes, mochas, and such by a barista. Your plates and beverages regularly bussed. The crowning glory of a decently stocked full bar, including wrap around bar seating and a walk up order station. Complimentary well liquor, wine, sparkling wine, and beer on tap. More than 16 top shelf alternates including two of my favorites, Knob Creek 9 year 100 proof Bourbon, and Glenlivet Founders Reserve NAS Single Malt at a modest extra cost. From the check in agents, to the lounge personnel, to the gate agents, Alaska Airlines rocks. read more

We were glad that the lounge was still open when we got there, but they closed soon after.

Alaska Lounge - North Satellite - Airport Lounges Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Located in the NS (North Satellite) wing is an amazing and rather expansive lounge that is worth visiting if you're on an Alaska flight. There are three areas: A fireplace lodge, window seating, and bar areas. The windows are massive and really nice for seeing planes take-off and land. This their flagship lounge, so it explains a lot. I particularly loved the seating - there were some private areas, booths, including private areas, reclining seats, and barstools. It also wasn't extremely busy when we went - late afternoon, early evening time. Thankfully there's no time limit to enter this lounge, unlike certain other ones. Reading other reviews, it looks like there've been significant improvements when it comes to the food, which is great to see. I had the chance to try the salmon chowder and certainly recommend this lounge over the other one. Their bar is well-stocked with a mix of local beers and top-shelf liquor, along with a coffee bar - loved that concept. Food is decent; I particularly liked their salmon chowder - not bad at all for airport lounge food and heavy with chunks of salmon in it. The staff are always very friendly and welcoming; the facilities and bathroom are clean and pleasant. My one gripe, not about the lounge, but the lounge access is that despite paying for first-class (and not just upgrading to it), we still had to pay to enter the lounge. It used to be included, but now it's a minimum flight distance to qualify for free entry (and LAX to SeaTac doesn't meet that minimum requirement unfortunately). That's $30 (a discount due to our first-class seats) per person to enter and you can use any of the Alaska lounges in any of the concourses as long as you retein your purchase receipt. they have annual passes and I'd say that it's worth it if you fly enough and have sufficient layover time at any of the airports that have an Alaska Lounge nearby. Calculating the cost of buying food from the food courts/restaurants versus the lounge pass - the latter is worth it. read more
