Lounge access is not included for family or other guests not traveling in First Class. Entrance into other airline clubrooms is not included with First Class fares or awards. To access the Alaska Lounge, passengers must show their eligible same-day First Class boarding pass to the Alaska Lounge Staff. Passengers traveling on a paid First Class or a First Class award ticket* where no single flights exceed 2,100 miles can purchase a discounted day pass** for $30.
- *applies to fares booked in C, D, E, J, or I class.
So I guess the question would be what fare class was it booked into?
If it was a complimentary upgrade it probably booked into U. AS does not provide lounge access to upgraded passengers. See my longer response in post #3167
