Alaska Airlines has flown from Harvey Milk Terminal 1 since June 2024, when it moved from Terminal 2, so its lounge is in the same terminal as its gates. Terminal 1 has the B gates (B1 to B27) and the C gates (C1 to C11). SFO's getting-around page lists C1 to C11 under Terminal 2, but its lounge and meeting point pages put them in Terminal 1, so check your boarding pass.
