6/28 0900 LAX Didn't see a sign (wasn't looking as I was in paid VX F) but heard people grumbling that they got turned away with PP as I got out of the elevator. Same when I left at 1030 - 2 couples turned away at the door. I'd guess lounge was about 65% full. No problem finding a seat.

6/29 ~1500 SEA N PP allowed, but no guests allowed (we are on AS boarding pass, but the stuff didn't ask). Since I'm with Mrs, the stuff directed us to A terminal. Sitting at The Club at SEA A with Mrs right now.

6/30 9:00AM SEA - Sign out in front of D, No Sign at N - Didn't spend time in either as I may have spent too much time in Centurion Lounge and was running to catch my flight

Did you notice if there was a sign out about the new lounge in C? It was supposed to be open to the public today. You would think that the new lounge would take some of the pressure off of the old lounges.

Just updated my Priority Pass, says Alaska Lounge at Concourse C is part of program. Wonder how often PP members will be allowed to use.

I get the impression that this new lounge is going to be an upgraded version of the typical AS Lounge which leads me to believe that it will be more popular and thus inaccessible to PP members (in reality, not on paper).

It's interesting to watch the parade of PPers with 2-4 guests getting rejected. The front desk agents direct them to the liquor store down the hall

If PP or the credit cards had limited to 1 guest previously, we might not have had so much of a problem. Now we can't even bring in our spouse.

SEA C, 7/3 @ 6:15am, PP member-only-no-guests sign was out. About 5 people in lounge when I first entered...about the same now. Enjoying the runway views.

SEA D didn't have a sign when I walked past it at around 8:30am today. Going to try the C lounge later.
