Interesting because when I first read the terms and conditions, it looked like it was a 24 hour pass good for all Alaska Lounges, but I think you're correct here....it does specify just one lounge. I guess if you had a day trip via PDX/SEA/LAX/ANC, you could use the pass for both arriving and departing if it were within 24 hours although it's likely that the "full house" sign would be out the second time you tried to use the pass so once again, not a good deal unless they ever decide that day pass purchasers can enter regardless of lounge capacity which won't happen.

Gold/75K didn't get charged an initiation fee before either, but the elimination of the 3 year discount represents a $200 increase for Gold/75Ks doing that option. Ouch.

Thanks, that is interesting. I was under the same impression as PDX. When I first read it, I thought it meant day use all day, any club. But the "One" club blurb made me rethink it. Not really clear. I will not need it until the end of November, so hopefully a couple more people that have tried will come back with their experiences also.

My only personal experience is ~4 years ago when I was told the opposite: SEA/LAX/SEA same-day travel would require 2 passes: 1 for SEA and 1 for LAX.

In the past when I purchased day passes, I asked for the day pass back when I presented it in SEA. Explained I had connection in LAX and it was good for same day travel.
They gave me back the day pass paper and I was able to use it in LAX.
But.....with everything changing on a weekly basis, who knows what mood the lounge attendants will be in when confronted with this conundrum .

I think the wording on the T & C of the announcement may be misleading. May be used at any one of Alaska lounges. Could be understood that it is good at any of Alaska lounges.

That would be an interesting situation. The AL won't sell a day pass when the sign is out, but would they honor an already purchased one? They apparently do for the 75K day passes.

I don't think they turn away 75K day passes due to overcrowding. I've been turned away from using my PP but then tell them I have a 75K pass and they let me enter.
