FYI, YVR's boardroom now has free public wireless access in addition to the Telus pay-as-you-go access!

It's not even worth bothering plus WC doesn't have hi-speed internet or wi-fi (though the BR doesn't have wi-fi at LAX yet either).

I travel through SAN a few times per year. Unfortunately, this still does not help out there, since CO uses the Delta Crown Room in SAN, & entry is only permitted with a DL ticket, per the CO website:
San Diego, CA (SAN)
Delta Crown Room
Terminal 2 near Gate 37
Members must present their membership card and Delta Air Lines ticket issued for same-day departure for entry.
Guests Allowed: Yes
Doesn't AS have access to some DL clubs already?

Thanks for the thread.
Until reading this, it never occurred to me that I could use the NWA WC using my Alaska Boardroom card.
I have to fly NWA next month for the first time is about seven years and was lamenting the fact that I would not have club access. Now I realize that I do. Woo Hoo!

So it means going through security either late, or twice. And at DCA, since there's no premium passengar line, that can be a crapshoot.
Not very helpful.

The schedule has changed a lot since then, and there are a number of afternoon NW flts that leave after the WC has closed. The view of the Olympics from the WC is IMHO quite nice. I hope the WC is open for your departure.

I was thinking more about my layovers in MSP and DTW--my two least favorite cities, but perhaps I will use the WC at SEA. I think it is open from about 5:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Back in 1999 I actually met newself in the NW WC here in Seattle. That was when you could just go out to the gate with no ticket. Remember those days?

Now to take this issue one more step further...I have a priority pass membership which gets me into Continental PC but NOT AS Boardroom. With this new agreement between CO and AS, does anyone know if I can get into the AS BR if I can normally get into CO PC with Priority pass?

I do not know the answer to the above but if you think about it the answer MUST be no. Priority Pass contracts with PC and does not with BR. AS has a reciprocal arrangement with CO for club access but PP is not a player in that arrangement. A BR day pass is $25 though.
