Seattle lounges: which to choose among Delta, Alaska, cards
Seattle lounges: which to choose among Delta, Alaska, cards
To choose a lounge at Seattle you first have to ask who you are flying with. Delta and Alaska Airlines each have their own lounges, with very different access rules: at Delta clubs entry cannot be bought, in the Alaska Lounges it can. Around them are The Club SEA for Priority Pass holders, the American Express Centurion Lounge and the British Airways lounge.
Delta concentrates its lounges in concourse A. The Delta Sky Club opposite gate A11, opened in June 2025, occupies the ground floor of a new complex; the one near gate A1, opened in 2016, is the oldest of Delta's Seattle clubs. In both you enter with the required status and there is no paid entry: if you do not meet the requirements, you have to look elsewhere.
Above the Sky Club at gate A11 is the Delta One Lounge, reserved for those with a Delta One ticket on the same day, departing or arriving. Besides the indoor rooms it has a terrace with a view of Mount Rainier, and its open kitchen focuses on local seafood. It opens later than the other lounges at the airport, though, a detail to consider for early-morning flights.
The Alaska Lounges are in concourse C, on the mezzanine next to gate C16, in concourse D, just after security checkpoint 4, and in the North Satellite, above gates N13-N18. They welcome Alaska Lounge members and those with oneworld status, but they also sell the day pass to anyone with a boarding pass for the same day with Alaska, oneworld or a partner airline. It is best to use the one closest to your gate, bearing in mind that the concourse C lounge closes much earlier than the others; a new lounge is planned for the same concourse in 2027.
In the South Satellite is the British Airways Terraces Lounge, renovated in February 2025, with a new bar, private workstations and 180-degree windows over the runway and the mountains. It is reserved for British Airways premium passengers, BA Club members and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire members, with no paid entry.
If you have Priority Pass or are willing to pay, you can rely on The Club SEA, which has a location in concourse A, near gate A12, and one in the South Satellite, near gate S9. Both overlook the runway and have a bar, and in the satellite one alcoholic drinks are included. Holders of eligible American Express cards have The Centurion Lounge instead, in the central terminal, towards the B gates, with hot food inspired by local flavours and full-height windows over the Washington state landscape.

At Seattle the choice follows the airline. With Delta and the right status you stay in concourse A, and if you have a Delta One ticket you go up to the lounge with the terrace. With Alaska or oneworld you go to the nearest Alaska Lounge, remembering that the one in concourse C closes early, and if you have no status you can buy the day pass. If you fly British Airways in a premium cabin you have the Terraces Lounge in the South Satellite, if you count on Priority Pass you choose the most convenient location of The Club SEA, and Amex holders have the Centurion Lounge.
