Alaska Lounges in ANC, LAX, PDX, and JFK accept Priority Pass (PP) on space-available (limited) basis.
Alaska Lounges in SEA no longer accept Priority Pass. (AS Lounges in SEA Leaving Priority Pass (9/1/2018)

5/7/19 11:00am and 6PM Renovated Alaska Lounge looking good. Sign comes in and out, Alaska milks the priority pass to the max which is annoying to both sides. Also Amex Plat users are becoming very loud, just an observation.

Not a priority pass member, but thought I’d add a data point for those who are. At the PDX lounge this morning around 8:30 am the sign was not out, so assume that PP was welcome. The lounge actually felt quite crowded, but still no sign when I left at 9am

For LAX, because of the recent renovation, PP is easily denied. Lounge closed at 8 pm for everyone. Been there 4 times, denied twice. I always visited on a Saturday evening around 6-7. There are many transcon leaving at 8 or 9, so it's going to be busy all the time. Note, when there is a sign at the elevator, it's full, don't bother go upstairs. Told the renovation will end in June/August, I can't remember which month, lol.

I agree....LAX is probably the worst for PP availability....even more than PDX.

If opening an entirely new lounge doesn't help with capacity, I hardly think a renovation will help, but I hope I'm wrong.

A bit of delayed report, but last Thurs, 5/16 at 6:30am, sign was out at LAX. Went up to check on how long it might be out/how full the lounge was, and they were just coming down to pull the sign back in so admitted me and my guest with Priority Pass. With all the renovations, the bar is limited to a small selection of canned beers and wines.
Despite others' reports, I've actually had decent luck w/ ability to enter LAX using PP, but perhaps I'm just traveling at off-peak days/times or have gotten really lucky at others.

I'm not sure if this has been answered before, but if I have a PP membership AND an Alaska Lounge membership, would they allow me to bring in 2 guests with PP AND my immediate family (based on my lounge membership) or is it one or the other?

Visited LAX 5/25, got in at 6:30 pm, while I'm here, they put the sign out around 7:15 pm. When I leave at 8, the sign was still out and people will be denied.
