The British Airways First Class Lounge in Seattle is a small enclave within the larger Terraces Lounge. Both spaces, located on top of Satellite S, share the same reception desk, bar, and showers. Both rooms offer sweeping views over the tarmac and beyond.
British Airways First Class Lounge SEA design
The small First Class room has seating for a dozen persons, and is furnished with two sofas as well as individual chairs. There is also a single cubicle with a self-service computer. The furniture is perhaps more elegant than on the business class side.
Unfortunately though, given oneworld’s generous First Class lounge access policies, and the fact that other airlines such as Asiana also use the lounge, the First Class room often gets crowded.
British Airways First Class Lounge SEA amenities
The food and drink offering is on par with the business class side, which is to say that it’s rather lacking. Food consists exclusively of packaged snacks and shrink-wrapped mini-sandwiches. A broad selection of drinks is available, and a bar tender will craft the cocktail of your choice – however you typically need to order from the bar which is located on the business class side, though servers do occasionally venture in the First Class lounge.
The massaging showers are a highlight, and First Class passengers have priority over business class travelers. The front desk agents will offer to store your belongings while you shower – a nice touch, but don’t expect your seat (or any seat, for that matter) to be available when you come back.
British Airways First Class Lounge SEA bottom line
Overall, we can’t help but wonder why British Airways bothers dedicating space to First Class passengers if the facilities and amenities don’t remotely meet the First Class bar. You may as well sit in the business class portion of the lounge – at least, the space feels less claustrophobic and you’ll be closer to the bar. And given the lack of competition (other airlines with a First Class cabin use the even less exciting The Club at SEA lounge) we don’t expect the situation to improve anytime soon.

Overall ratings
Eva uses this lounge and they should be ashamed of themselves. There was no alcohol whatsoever, so the drinks description should be changed.
Quite disappointing for a first class lounge.
