International business class flights booked via Alaska, so on AS codeshare, get 250% EQM's, meaning the 4 x LHR-JFK returns I do a year, available with AS codeshare would be 8 x 3442 miles base + 150% which is 66,840 EQM. Add in at least one QR return to Singapore (125% as no codeshare available - although could use SQ), which is 2 * 3527 + 2 * 3857 for 14768 base + 25% for 18460 EQM's and I'm on 85,300 EQM's before adding in any personal travel.
I very rarely travel domestically in the US, and usually it's tagged on to an international leg anyway, so the loss of domestic lounge access doesn't bother me.
I'd check that your preferred TATL routes are bookable in the way you expect. As far as I can tell, if you try to book a TATL flight which originates in Europe/UK via Alaska.com it offers no non-stop routings and insists on putting you through Dublin on Aer Lingus.
