What happened
The Alaska Lounge at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) has joined the Priority Pass network. Access for Priority Pass members requires a $15 co-pay and a same-day boarding pass on Alaska Airlines or a partner airline. Members are limited to a four-hour stay. This is currently the only Alaska Lounge participating in Priority Pass. The move is seen as a monetization strategy for the lounge, which is located in Terminal 1 and is approximately 11,000 square feet
