As an Admirals Club member, I was asked to join the waitlist. I didn’t see the pecking order completely, but I noticed that Summit pass holders were ahead of me.

This is the first time I’ve been turned away, previous times it was only a “no passes” sign and I had no problem getting in before. My strategy of using the AA credit card for lounge access has bakckfired… If Alaska really does hold lounge capacity for club members, I may consider a Lounge+ membership!

As far as my current wait time, it’s been almost an hour and I went from #7 to #2. Other people have “cut” in front of me.

ETA: cleared after 1hr 4mins. Got to swing in for 20 minutes
