And it boggles the mind that AS can't find a realistic way to serve Alaska Lounge members at SFO, OAK or SJC. It even formerly had an SFO club before the airport became a hub.
In the Bay Area:
•For infrequent travelers Alaska means bag and change fees vs WN.
•For frequent travelers it means change fees, a limited schedule, and no lounge vs UA or WN.
Either way not hitting the mark.
