The brand new AS lounge at JFK, already denying entry for PP when arriving at the lounge around 5pm due to space restrictions on a Friday..

Yep, as expected...lol....TPG says, "There’s plenty of seating throughout the space. At the entrance, there’s a table with loads of power outlets. In fact, Alex Judson, Manager of Lounge Development for Alaska, said that all 90 seats in the lounge have access to power." I guess there isn't "plenty of seating" after-all....

There is plenty of seating, just not constantly for numerous priority pass paxs you had to expect would use this lounge.

I wonder when AS will just abandon PP completely. I'd be bummed, as a PP member, but with the Virgin merger increasing their member base and market share, the Board Room apparently doesn't have much spare capacity (which is what they were always selling to PP).

Sign was put at LAX last night. I'm an AC member so all good, but when I entered the lounge was pretty quiet. Not crowded at all.

5/13 SEA 11am sign out, lounge packed so I went C lounge. Pretty empty and now serving free Mai Tais! (Probably leftovers from all the Hawaii flights it was pulled from). Haha

SEA 12:30 PM today, main concourse. Sign not out, lounge about half full. Left at 1pm sign out, lounge about the same. Got to the N gates, sign was out.

Same time and place April 22, sign not out. I didn't go in.

Just saw that T2A was there only an hour before me and the sign was out. Weird. They took it down for an hour.

welcome to the world of AS 🥞 pancakes. We look forward to them each time we travel. Once, the machine was broken and everyone was so bummed out. Try peanut butter and banana slices as a variation 😃
