• Somehow I didn’t know about this Priority Pass-accessible lounge development at Seattle which will be “approximately 12,000 SF of Port of Seattle shared-use lounge space on Concourse A.”

  CLUB AT SEA – PORT SHARED-USE LOUNGE

  A shared-use lounge offers an inclusive experience for all travelers regardless of airline, membership, and status. By booking ahead and paying a nominal fee, travelers get access to a VIP experience with a range of complimentary food and drinks, inviting social spaces, comfortable seating, and space to reset and recharge. The demand for shared-use lounges has significantly increased over the years at SEA, and this project will help welcome even more travelers who are looking for this exclusive experience.

  The expanded lounge will remain on the mezzanine level and will double in size! An additional 2,800 square feet will be constructed for future leasable office space. All of the seating will have electrical power for passengers to charge their devices and there will be expansive Wi-fi coverage for passenger connectivity.

• Southwest’s lawsuit against San Antonio airport has been dismissed. They had wanted in on the new concourse, but got shut out. They said it’s because they wouldn’t take club space, and that this is impermissible under FAA rules for airports receiving federal grants.
