The Club at SEA

The Club at SEA in Concourse A is one of the two pay-in lounges operated by The Club Airport Lounge at Sea-Tac airport, along with The Club at SEA Satellite S. The club welcomes passengers flying any airline in any class of service for a fee, as well as members of lounge access networks such as Priority Pass. In its previous incarnations, The Club at SEA Concourse A used to be the Delta Crown Club lounge and more recently Club Cascade.

The entrance is easy to miss: look for a staircase across gate 11 and make your way up to the mezzanine level.

The Club at SEA – Seattle-Tacoma (SEA) Concourse A

The design is rather traditional and a tad old fashioned, with wood panels and dark tones – hardly exciting, but the space is clean and well up kept. Located on the mezzanine level, the club features views on both the concourse and the area surrounding the airport. Unfortunately, the views on the mountains (thus the old Club Cascade name) have been obliterated by the new light rail elevated track that runs immediately outside the airport terminal. Either way, the windows let plenty of daylight in.

The layout is pretty simple, with a reception area followed by a seating area, then a bar and dining area flanked by another seating area. The furniture is comfortable, but business travelers will lament the desperate lack of power outlets and the absence of a dedicated Wi-Fi access point (the airport does provide free Wi-Fi, however.)

The Club at SEA SEA amenities

The buffet provides a selection of snacks, soups, and soft drinks. The highlight is the complimentary alcoholic beverage offering: The Club at SEA offers perhaps the airport’s best selection of local wines, with typically six to seven wines from the region, in addition to a beer, Champagne, and traditional cocktails. Soft drinks, juices and espresso are also available.

Other amenities include a conference room that can be reserved in advance, as well as a business center with work cubicles and a printer. Magazines are also available for reading on the premises.

The Club at SEA SEA bottom line

Overall, The Club at SEA Concourse A at Seattle-Tacoma airport is a quiet, pleasant but simple facility. If you don’t receive complimentary access, however, the pay-per-use fee is a poor value in our opinion since the airport offers free Wi-Fi and the concourse has a reasonable amount of seating space as well as numerous restaurants and coffee shops.
