Denied entry at ANC at 10 pm tonight (a Monday night). They have a sign downstairs. Lounge is at least half empty -- what I would consider uncrowded for a small lounge. The lounge staff doesn't care about reason or logic -- they're just saving space for non-existent pax who will be showing up in the middle of the night. I think Alaska should just pull out of the program, or priority pass should kick them out. If this is how lounge access worked, nobody would want a card. It's frustrating to think you have lounge access (I have a 2 hour layover) and they get denied entry for no good reason. I'm even flying Alaska.
