Alaska Lounge at SFO Returns to Priority Pass
The Alaska Airlines Lounge at SFO (Terminal 1) has officially rejoined the Priority Pass network.
Given the recent schedule reductions out of San Francisco, it’s not entirely surprising that Alaska is looking to fill seats. But Priority Pass members looking to enjoy some peace and quiet at this Alaska Airlines Lounge will have to pay to get in.
The lounge is charging a $15 fee per Priority Pass member. You must be flying with Alaska Airlines or a partner carrier to gain entry, and your stay is capped at a maximum of 4 hours.
While the $15 fee might sting for some, the SFO lounge is arguably one of the nicest in Alaska’s network. And it’s not the only lounge to charge extra for Priority Pass members. Over at LAX, the Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse will cost you $35 per person.
Guru’s Wrap-up
The return of the Alaska Airlines Lounge to the Priority Pass network at SFO gives travelers a great option to relax and grab a bite before their flight. However, the $15 surcharge signals a growing trend where a Priority Pass membership is no longer enough to get you lounge access. Plus with different lounges charging different prices, it gets even more confusing for guests.
