As a thank you to those who serve our country, many of our
partner airlines are offering generous complimentary airline lounge
access to military service members. A breakdown of some of those
partners is as follows:
American Airlines
U.S. military personnel traveling in uniform can access domestic and
international American Airlines Admirals Club locations, with the
exception of the Airspace Lounge in San Diego (SAN) and the JAL Sakura
Lounge in Honolulu (HNL). To access the club, you will need to provide a
Military ID and a boarding pass for a same-day flight operated by
American. Immediate family members or up to two guests are also welcome
to join you!
United Airlines
U.S. military personnel who would like to access United Airlines
United Club lounges must either be in uniform or show present leave
orders or rest and recuperation papers. Lounge access is available the
same day of your United-operated flight, for those who present a
Military ID, boarding pass and sponsoring documentation. Subject to the
location’s capacity, family members with gate passes or those who are
traveling on the same flight as the military member may also access the
lounge.
Alaska Airlines
Alaska Lounge Day Passes are
complimentary for U.S. military personnel traveling on official
government-sponsored travel booked through SATO and ticketed to fly on
an Alaska flight departing within 3 hours. All other Active Duty
military personnel with a valid ID may purchase a day pass at the
discounted rate of $30 when traveling on Alaska. Available in all Alaska
Lounge locations.
Other Airlines
Complimentary club access is available specifically for military
service members and does not apply to civilian government travelers.
Other partner airlines, such as Delta, are considering expanding lounge
offerings to military service members in the future. Be sure to check
the website for your preferred airline, also linked above, for the most
up-to-date information on lounge access prior to your next trip.
