Alaska Airlines is increasing the cost to enter its lounges starting in February 2025. The membership fees for both its own lounges as well as the premium Lounge+ membership that gives members access to around 90 partner lounges will both see prices go up.
Alaska Airlines currently charges $450 for members with any level elite status and $550 for those without it to access its nine lounges on an annual basis. Lounge+ offers access to around 90 additional partner lounges (including American’s Admirals Clubs®) and costs $650 for elites and $750 for general members. These costs will increase to $595 and $795 per a note (shown above) on Alaska’s site. There are no further specifics around whether there will still be two tiers and if this is the elite or non-elite pricing. Price increases take effect on February 1st. If you’re planning to join or renew, do so before then to lock in the lower pricing.
A few months ago, Alaska also increased the cost for day passes. These were raised from $50 to $60 per passenger. Alaska operates its own lounges at:
- Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (ANC)
- Los Angeles International Airport (LAX)
- New York John F Kennedy International Airport (JFK)
- Portland International Airport (PDX) (two locations)
- San Francisco International Airport (SFO)
- Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) (three locations)
Alaska Airlines recently made significant changes to its Mileage Plan program and the way that elite status is earned, benefits, and more.
Anthony’s Take: Alaska’s price increases are in line with other airlines. Alaska operates a much smaller lounge network itself, but travelers should be covered when coupled with American’s lounges and other partners (this just costs more).
