Alaska Airlines is surveying some of its lounge members about potential changes under consideration. The airline is evaluating whether to raise the price for lounge membership and what additional amenities customers might desire if such an increase occurs.

The survey benchmarks customer attitudes against other airline lounges and American Express Centurion lounges, but not against Chase or Capital One lounges. It aims to determine whether members are particularly price-sensitive and if they would pay for more food options.

Additionally, Alaska Airlines seeks feedback on whether customers would be willing to pay more for showers, nap areas, and spa treatments. Although Alaska does not currently operate long-haul flights, its pending acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines and its Pacific route network makes rest and shower facilities more relevant.

Continuing with the theme of price versus amenities, Alaska asks about price sensitivity in various ways. Members are also asked to consider if a lounge membership offering more locations would justify a higher cost. The survey requests location suggestions, noting that Hawaiian Airlines already operates lounges at five airports.

Finally, the survey inquires about the most important amenities to add.

Alaska recently raised the cost of basic lounge access by $50 and inclusive partner lounge access by $100 on February 1. It is noteworthy that they are considering another price increase so soon. Presumably, any new pricing will be promoted alongside plans for additional lounges, amenities, and enhanced food and beverage offerings—though many additions will take time to implement or may not be available at all locations.
