My understanding is that after the move to T-6
VX F boarding pass will get access to AS Lounge, as does PAID AS F boarding pass.
Before the move in May (about 12-14th)
VX F boarding pass can get The Loft lounge access with PP,(unless you are on long haul on VX F, then open access).

Is there any lounge access in the morning at SFO when flying VX F? I know one can (or could in the past) use the VS Clubhouse but it only opens at 2:00pm. Does a VX F ticket get you into any other lounges at SFO?

Now, should you have the time to go over to the Intl side and the VX Clubhouse is open, it is worth it and a far better value than an AA day pass. A la carte dining with table service, top shelf booze and a great view. The price is definitely worth it. ^

No, and honestly you won't miss it very much. AA has an AC Club in T-2 where you can buy a day pass, but unless you have a long layover, I would not bother. T-2 where VX flies from SFO is one of the most pleasant terminals in N.A. Light, airy , quiet, good food and shops. Rarely feels crowded. Lots of plugs and really comfy chairs.

) if there was one available but it isn't necessary. And it sounds like the terminal is pretty nice as well so I'll have breakfast somewhere there.

Will fly VX LAX-SFO after the terminal move. I'm a LT Admirals Club member, and Priority Pass Select member. Rumor has it AS is denying PP members access. Any word on whether I will have loung access via my AC membership? If flying on AS would be granted, but VX?

Give Alaska feedback that you'd like to see reciprocal access for VX flights:

My guess is you won't have AL access until VX flights disappear, just like how Bored Room™ members didn't have AAdmiral's Club access on US flights, just AA flights.

My guess (no more solid that yours) is that it could happen Jan. 1. Maybe even a chance it could be late September, when AS systems gain access to VX.
