Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) is the ninth-busiest airport in the U.S., serving over 50 million passengers annually. As a major hub for Alaska Airlines, it’s no surprise that 3 out of the 11 lounges at SEA are Alaska Lounges.

If you’re keen to avoid the hustle and bustle of the general departure lounges, you can purchase day passes to The Club SEA and the Alaska Lounges. Other lounges are reserved for premium cabin passengers, elite tier frequent flyers, or those with specific credit cards.

Update: Some of the lounges featured in this article may be closed or operating under reduced opening hours due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Connecting Between Terminals for Lounge Access

Once inside the secure area, passengers can move freely between the different concourses for lounge access. As passengers don’t need to re-clear security, this allows more time to relax in the lounge before a flight. It’s possible to walk between Concourses A, B, C, and D; to reach the satellite terminals, passengers need to ride the Satellite Transit System.

Best Credit Cards to Access Priority Pass Lounges

A Priority Pass Select membership can really enhance your airport experience. Instead of waiting at the gate for your plane to board, you can kick your feet up and relax while enjoying free food and drinks. Better yet, you’ll be able to do this in over 1,300 airport lounges worldwide — including all 4 Priority Pass locations at SEA.

Our favorite credit card for Priority Pass access is the Chase Sapphire Reserve® Card. This is because, in addition to receiving access to Priority Pass lounge locations, you also receive a dining credit a Priority Pass restaurant locations. Thanks to your Chase Sapphire Reserve card, you’ll get a $28 dining credit towards your bill ($56 when dining with a guest) at Trail Head BBQ Bar and Bambuza at SEA.

If the Chase Sapphire Reserve card doesn’t seem like a good fit for you, you could opt for the Amex Platinum card. However, the Priority Pass Select membership that comes with the Amex Platinum card does not include access to Priority Pass restaurants, though it does offer access to 5 other airport lounge networks like Amex Centurion lounges and Delta Sky Clubs (when flying Delta).

Want to weigh all of your options? Here are all of the credit cards that offer access to Priority Pass lounges:

Amex Business Platinum card
Citi Prestige® Card
Hilton Honors American Express Aspire Card
Hilton Honors American Express Surpass® Card (10 visits per year)
Marriott Bonvoy Brilliant™ American Express® Card
U.S. Bank Altitude™ Reserve Visa Infinite® Card

Final Thoughts

There are some great options when it comes to airline lounges at SEA. Relax with a drink and admire the distant Olympic and Cascade Mountains that are visible on a clear day, and aviation geeks will love the excellent views of the airfield that many lounges provide.
