Does anyone know if access to Admirals Clubs using an Alaska Lounge+ Membership has changed recently. I tried to access an Admirals Club lounge that is listed on the lounge locations page of the Alaska website and I was told by the Admirals Club staff that I was not allowed in. I asked why and they said they don’t accept Alaska Lounge+ members, and even if they did I would be required to fly on an American Airlines flight. I showed them the Alaska Website with the attached pages and was told that the American Airlines website does not mention Alaska Airlines Lounge+ Membership or any agreements between the two on any American Airlines page. I asked to speak to any managers or supervisors on shift and showed them the pages and they repeated the same thing that it needs to be mentioned on the American Airlines website and not the Alaska Airlines website to be valid. They at least offered to scan my Lounge+ Membership card from my App and my boarding ticket, but they said nothing came up when they scanned either.

I know that access to the Admirals Clubs lounges are subject to change without notice, and if this has changed recently it would be nice to get an update from Alaska about it. The main reason I chose the Lounge+ was to access Admirals Clubs, so if they are not included anymore I’m definitely not choosing it as a 100K benefit in the future.
