4/17 11:40 am. N location Sign out. Went in and asked nicely if Mrs cblaisd and I could come in since we were flying in upgraded F and I am lowly MVP. Agent first said no, then immediately said wait a moment. She went and looked in the lounge , came back, asked her two colleagues if ok to take sign down since a bunch of folks just left. They agreed. Lounge probably 15-20% full

If you don't mind begging, it seems to be a fairly good strategy for getting into the lounges....my guess is that your success rate is going to be around 50%....when the SEA lounges eventually get around to banning PP "Select" like PDX, I don't think even begging will help.
