This would make PP so much more valuable. They've been adding restaurant partnerships here and there so hopefully, construction or not, that trend gets to SEA soon.

i view PP as a minor credit card benefit. The not-luxury $95 SPG/Marriott and the $95 Hilton card from Amex both get you a limited number of pp admissions, which are plenty for me.

if one has a Delta-affiliated Amex, it gets you a Delta Skyclub admission at a cost of $29.

CSR gets unlimited pp admissions. Wife is keeping that card, but again pp is minor consideration in her “keep or drop” decision.

In Seattle, either one of the two Delta Skyclubs is much better than either Alaska Club. I’ve been in all four at various times. I can’t image paying much of anything out-of-pocket for an Alaska lounge visit in SEA.

With the Alaska lounges, there's just not that much there in there. This is a case where the prize doesn't warrant all this fretting about not getting it.
EkekoBWI and scfw0x0f like this.

The Club in A now opens at 5am, making it a bit more useful.

My usual route has been going into PDX and flying home from SEA but on my last trip I flew into Sea and flew back from PDX. I got into the AS lounge w/o a problem in PDX but I did noticed many of the PP folks getting denied access about 45 minutes later around 12:30 onward. What annoyed me was the place was barely half full and another PP guest got irratated when he was denied and pointed out that they're half full so WTH.

It's still nicer than SEA where you can use your PP for restaurants and what not so you can still take an advantage of PP.

I got PP through CSR and really, it was a driving factor to get it.

If you try to point out the half-empty lounge issue, they will likely say that they are denying PP due to an "anticipated" increase in the lounge guests....uh yeah, whatever. For what it's worth, PDX is my home airport and they almost always have the no PP sign out when I walk by...as you said, the restaurant credits do help make up for the fact that the PDX AS Lounge is unavailable to PP the vast majority of the day and night....although it's not *quite* as bad as the lounge at LAX. I'm sure PP will drop both LAX/PDX in the not to distant future.

March 5, 2019 PDX 8pm DENIED

Tried to visit the lounge only to be denied not due to space but due to construction. Had an MVP in front of me try to enter only to be rejected like a PP holder.

The lounge closes at 8p during the construction. That’s why the MVP ahead of you was also not allowed in.

PROMO:$25 AS Lounge Access for AS Credit Card Holders

Not quite sure of the specific of the promotion, but AS seem to be running a special for AS mileage Plan Credit Card holder with $25 AS Lounge Access.

Limited time offer: From September 1, 2018, to May 31, 2019, Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® cardholders can purchase a day pass for $25. Purchases must be made by the cardholder at the Lounge using an Alaska Airlines Visa Signature® card and must be redeemed on the day of purchase.

Regular day passes are indeed $50 now, though they and the discounted ones are 24 hours and can be used at any AS lounge in that period.
