Alaska Airlines eyes prime space for airport lounge at SFO

Alaska Airlines is tight-lipped on the matter, but SFO officials say they’re working closely with the carrier to open a much-needed airport lounge in newly built space at the airport’s Terminal 2. Airlines at San Francisco International are eager to keep customers happy even before they board the planes, scrambling to offer more airport lounges with fancier food options and other amenities. The growth of airport lounges occurs as more travellers at SFO find themselves heading to the airport even earlier to ensure they don’t miss their flights due to traffic congestion or long lines at security. The phenomenal success of credit cards offering lounge access as a perk also means more of the masses are finding themselves getting into what were once an elite oasis of relative tranquillity for business travellers. <br/>
