Moderator Note: Yes, let's not turn this thread into a discussion of Priority Pass benefits.

There is an Airport Lounges forum where further PP discussion is welcome.

Was at LAX 4/10/19 sign out 10am, looks like everyone with PP got in already cause the lounge was packed, bar was empty. Im a member but it was loud and uncomfortable so left after 20 minutes. They should remove Alaska lounge from there and add a restaurant in terminal 5,6 or 7.

(annual fee doesn't count)
When stating you "was there" it can be helpful to others in the forum to actually define where "there" is.

Flying out of JFK Terminal 7 on BA. Only PP lounge is Alaska, but sounds like they basically never let in PP holders -- is that still the latest? Thought it would be nice to have a free glass of wine before my flight, but I'll survive. There are no other options in the terminal for PP, and I'm not inclined to terminal hop for that one drink...

I think JFK has pretty much been closed to PP since they opened...although I've never tried to visit (yet--I'll be through there next month but have no hopes of getting admitted). I would avoid disappointment by not getting to JFK any earlier than you need to in order to board your flight on time. This is one Alaska Lounge that I can see being dropped from the PP program (like the SEA lounges)....the only problem is that there are other PP options in SEA, but none in terminal 7.

They do seem to accept PP at the start of the day, but quickly put out the sign as the lounge fills. Last time I was there on a redeye, a line of people was stacked up because the PP machine wasn't working.

I've had the sign 5 out of 6 times I've tried to use the lounge at PDX. I'm still a United Club member so I usually just make the trek over there, but actually was let in @7am on the 10th! A weekday! I was shocked.

Hey @PDXPremier are you here? I got in at 5:32am, no sign of the sign and it is dead inside. If you show up say hi, I'm in a red jacket by the bar.

Sign was out at 7:45am on Saturday @pdx. Lounge is nice and quiet, maybe 30% capacity.

I assume you mean JFK and not the PDX lounge....I won't be there til next month....I'll be on the 7:20am flight back to PDX so I'd be stopping by around 6:15 or 6:30....
