Alaska Airlines has opened its newest lounge at Harvey Milk Terminal 1 of San Francisco International Airport, offering a significant upgrade from its previous Terminal 2 location. The 11,000-square-foot space, located across from Gate B6, operates from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily and features privacy booths and floor-to-ceiling windows with tarmac views.

“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 Alaska’s senior vice president of marketing and guest experience, Sangita Woerner, in a statement. “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.”

The lounge opening follows the completion of Terminal 1’s five-year renovation. Inside, travelers can enjoy elevated drink and dining options, including hand-crafted espresso, local craft brews, wine, San Francisco sourdough bread, and a made-to-order pancake machine, a feature at all Alaska lounges.

This development comes after Alaska Airlines’ significant airport lounge policy changes earlier this year, which included a $100 increase in annual membership costs. However, members can still bring immediate family or up to two adults as guests at no extra charge. Eligible first-class ticket holders and Oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members can also access Alaska lounges with a same-day ticket.

Over the past year, Alaska has renovated lounges in other West Coast hubs, including Portland and Seattle. The new San Francisco lounge is the largest Alaska lounge in California.
