NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Southwest said it will add airport lounges at select airports nationwide beginning in 2027.
The first lounges will be in Nashville (BNA), Austin (AUS), Baltimore (BWI) and Honolulu (HNL).
Southwest said the amenities are still being finalized, but the company said, “Travelers can expect welcoming spaces to relax, work, recharge, and enjoy food and beverages.”
To access the lounge, travelers will need a premium Southwest Rapid Rewards Credit Card issued by Chase, launching in 2027.
Southwest said it expects the lounges to be open in late 2027.
September 11, 2001 is a day most associate with terror and tragedy. Austin Pollack shares a story from that day about hope and persistence: the effort to save a little girl’s life – with an organ donation. The problem? The young patient was in Houston, and her life-saving liver here in Nashville. With the grounding of all civilian aircraft, how could it be done? “Nobody ever said this isn’t possible.”
