British Airways has reopened its lounge at Seattle Tacoma International Airport (SEA) after an extensive refurbishment that forms part of the carrier’s £7 billion ($8.8 billion) transformation program.
The revamped lounge features a new full-service bar, a re-designed food servery area, dining service and zones for first class passengers and 180-degree views of the runway.
The new-look lounge follows in the footsteps of British Airways lounges in Singapore, Lagos, Washington, and London-Gatwick Airport (LGW) that underwent refreshes in 2024 and Edinburgh, London-Heathrow Airport (LHR) Terminal 5B and Heathrow Terminal 3 in 2023.
British Airways says that the Seattle lounge blends Pacific Northwest design inspiration with “British design elegance” with walls adorned by textile artwork from local artists.
“We announced our £7bn transformation programme last year and promised to improve the customer experience both on the ground and in the air. Across our global network we have 28 lounges in 20 airports that all play a huge part in our customers’ journeys, so we’re committed to offering the very best experience,” said British Airways’ Chief Customer Officer, Calum Laming.
Laming added: “Just like our customers and colleagues, each lounge is unique. Customers can expect to see nods to our British heritage blended seamlessly with features that celebrate the locality of the destination. We’ve worked with local designers, artists, and suppliers across the globe to ensure that each lounge has its own British Original personality – and we can’t wait to unveil more.”
BA is set to make big changes across its lounges this year as part of its £7 billion transformation including brand-new lounges in Dubai and Miami, as well as a full redevelopment of its Heathrow lounges commencing in 2026.
