Another seven are planned and will debut over the coming years, the carrier said.
The carrier is also expanding lounge access for Mint customers.
CEO Bob Jordan said the spaces will likely be co-branded with Chase.
The airline is doubling its space at an important hub in the Pacific Northwest.
The 41,000-square-foot space is expected to open in late 2027.
The space will feature a “first” for the carrier’s lounge network.

The carrier has already won approval for a lounge at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu.
State officials approved a lease for the site earlier this month.
