Alaska Airlines Plans 13,000-Square-Foot Lounge at San Diego International

The project signals a broader push to strengthen Alaska’s San Diego hub.

Overview

  • The carrier confirmed a new Alaska Lounge at SAN measuring about 13,000 square feet, described as among the airport’s largest club spaces.
  • Construction is scheduled to begin in early 2027, with no opening date announced.
  • Planned features include reclining Signature Loungers, quiet work areas, locally sourced food and refreshments, a full bar with signature cocktails, and a barista station for espresso drinks.
  • Entry will follow existing rules, with complimentary access for First Class guests on flights over 2,000 miles and Lounge+ membership granting access to all Alaska Lounges and nearly 90 partner clubs such as the Admirals Club.
  • Alaska frames the lounge as support for its SAN growth, citing 45 nonstop destinations (the most at the airport), recent route additions, and expanded one-stop connectivity through Hawaiian and oneworld partners.
