Overview
The British Airways Lounge at Seattle-Tacoma Airport welcomes British Airways and oneworld premium customers, as well as British Airways Executive Club Gold members.

Situated in Satellite S, the club is a stone’s throw from the international boarding gates. (Alaska Airlines, the largest oneworld tenant at Sea-Tac, primarily operates domestic flights. The Alaska Lounges, located in Satellite N and the main terminal, so Alaska Lounges are not a convenient option for oneworld international passengers.)

The British Airways Lounge Seattle was remodeled and expanded early 2025. The legacy “Terraces” design and claustrophobic separate First Class area have made way for a larger and more modern shared space.

Perched on top of Satellite N, and originally built in 2001 at a hefty $2.5 million price tag, the British Airways Lounge was Seattle-Tacoma airport’s first rooftop airline club. The rooftop concept isn’t unique anymore—Delta and then Alaska have both replicated the concept—but the British Airways Lounge remains one of the best vantage points over the airport grounds and the mountains in the distance.

Guests have their choice of traditional lounge seats with power outlets at arm’s length, tabletop seating along the windows, and dining tables.

Amenities include a hot and cold buffet, a full bar (per Washington State law, the lounge does not offer self-serve alcohol), and shower suites. A special a-la-carte menu is available to British Airways First Class passengers.

    Probably the worst lounge I used.
    Furniture is jaded, food an insult and more densely packed than the train between terminals.
    Don’t bother.

    Somewhat underwhelming overall for an international business class lounge, but nice views and great showers.
