Does anyone know what the process is supposed to look like when going to an AC. In the past at other ACs I’ve shown them my boarding pass and Lounge+ membership card to scan. But is something suppose to pop up on their side when they scan the ticket and membership card that says I can be in the lounge. I’ve never had issues at the STL AC, but I fly American there half the time.

I hope there was a new integration and that type of data comes over in the AA view... Every time (including 2 weeks ago at DFW) when I scan my AA boarding pass I still have to show my Alaska + digital card for confirmation. Maybe there was an update to the data sharing..

I just used the Admirals club at ATL on Friday, and after showing my Alaska boarding pass when checking in the CSA said “you are welcome with the Alaska lounge plus” which I have. Clearly she was aware of the rules, even though I think there are only two AS flights a day. (Not impressed by that lounge though in the T terminal. Small and super crowded).

On the flip side, now that I have the AC membership instead of AL+ both the AS Lounge and AC have to manually enter my AAdvantage number with each entry....neither my boarding pass nor my Executive Admirals Club card have my AAdvantage number on them so I always have to have that # ready for them to read off the memo app on my phone.

Apropos of nothing, I went to the LAX T4 combined lounge this morning. Agent scanned my BP (domestic leg of international AA J itin). She said “Alaska Lounge member?” First time I’ve ever had that. Always have to show them my Lounge+ barcode on phone.

Possible at some ACs, they have the capability to extract the AS FFN directly from the BP scan and validate AL+ membership that way? At least for those crediting to AS?

Probably mentioned above but will ask. Wife is flying F out of HNL into SFO I assume she will have access to the Admiral's Club HNL but can she guest me? Only one F seat available so I am riding coach, given the cost I don't mind and have an exit row seat (of course no discussion she got the F seat...LOL).

Is she on an AA or AS ticket? Does she have an AA or AS Lounge+ membership?

No on an AS ticket sorry I wasn't clear. But I already saw the AS Lounge+ DO NOT get entrance. I wasn't sure if AS F pax could get lounge access on a reciprocal basis as AS has no lounge in HNL.
