One more in for N. It is a breathtaking lounge, and I expect not super crowded now that they banned priority pass again (which is why I have not been in it mid last year).

In my visits over the last three months, the N lounge has been 50-75% full with the Thanksgiving visit being very crowded. Earlier this Monday @ 3PM there were very few empty tables in the N lounge. YMMV

Just like any other lounge, there are times when it is incredibly busy, and times when you are one of the only ones. During the holidays it is definitely more busy than the middle of non-holiday weeks.

I definitely prefer C over D and would ideally like them to switch locations

And to think, once upon a time, we were happy to have an overcrowded D lounge that was one floor pretty much in the footprint of the current D lounge.

Alaska would not allow me as OW Sapphire ticketed in F SEA to BOS to guest in two minor children companions in SEA C lounge?
Is this correct policy?
Lounge supervisor allowed courtesy exception, since we had two paid F Tix plus OW Sapphire but said Seattle to Boston is not a Transcon and doesn’t qualify for guest lounge access.

Assuming you are an Alaska or American Sapphire AND you are traveling in paid F on Alaska, you should have access to the Lounge. Other members in your party including family do not have access to the lounge.

I prefer the N lounge as it is the largest, spread out, has two restrooms and a large bar to sit at. The C lounge would come in second and D lounge last. The D lounge is split on two floors and the upper floor with the bar and food is pack most of the time so you have to go back and forth between floors.

What about as QF Gold (OW Sapphire)? Isn't this a OW lounge and aren't I entitled to bring a guest?

Moderator Note
Since the D Lounge will be closing for a much-needed renovation, the answer is C if departing from the C gates and N if you have the time to navigate the train. Asked and now answered, so time to close.
