Given the short visit, maybe give it a go and if it doesn’t pan out, head to the AC if you have time.
I ended up guesting someone into the ORD FL lounge a few months ago as this woman was about to shell out $150 for a guest pass to be with her older mom and friend. Not going to lie, I was originally on the fence as the three of them cut the long-ish line, but my colleague urged me to do a good deed.
Alaska Lounge policy has some odd rule somewhere that says the lounge member has to "know" the person(s) being guested in but I have never seen that enforced and not sure how they would do that if they tried...lol.
