The term "Flagship" needs to go ... and I don't mean just from AS.
Get your open hands ready everyone! Hopefully lots of Flagship Snacks to grab! The cheese cubes are probably a great place to start.

The use of the term "Flagship" is a self-inflicted wound as it only leads to comparisons to AA's Flagship lounges and Flagship First dining. One can fuss about AA offerings in FL's and FFD, but they are a step up on cheese cubes and a beer.

Last time I tried to get into the AA Flagship lounge with my domestic F ticket, things didn't go so well for me...

On the other hand, I've had onboard AA Flagship First Food and had elegant options, such as meat loaf.

I was by on Monday to have a look, the Bartender in the existing N lounge had just been and said it was amazing. The wifi was on and a good strong signal that I connected to on the departure level at AS Customer Service on the side furthest from the lounge. Stair were still blocked off.
I was through SEA again today but didn't go back to N to check it out.
I also see that they have a barista station behind the bar in the AL C lounge. You can see the new N lounge in the background.

Lots more photos coming via AirwaysLive Twitter account as well. The space and amenities look great overall. Will have to check it out when I'm in SEA next week.. Wish it had showers, but definitely a huge improvement over the current N lounge (or any of the other SEA/West Coast lounges I've been to).

I have experienced American’s “Flagship” transatlantic economy dinner service before. I can only imagine the “non-flagship” Y service would involve a bowl of gruel being passed around.
