Quick question for the BoardRoom experts. We're on an DL award ticket in October that includes an AS FC segment from ONT/SEA. We have a layover for a couple hours in SEA and then jump on a DL flight.

I know that a FC ticket gets you into a BoardRoom before your flight. Can it also get us into the BoardRoom on arrival in SEA??

Thanks for any info you can provide.
Yep! Enjoy pancakes/soup/Alaskan Amber!

Heading to Japan (NRT) tomorrow on Delta (DL635). Coming home via Osaka (KIX) and through (HNL) (B747) and a 10 hour layover (Wakiki anyone?). MVPG has allowed me to book exit row the entire trip. This trip is worth about 11K EQM's which I definitely need this year because this is a slow year for me for work and pleasure.

ANC-PDX-SEA-LAX-DCA-LAX-SEA-PDX-ANC is around 10.6K

But no HNL - stop by the chinatown... interesting contrast to SFO's - and if time, take a car up to the north shore for shrimp trucks (like taco trucks of socal )

We intend to.

That'll make the asinine itinerary we're on that much easier to tolerate.

Morning... The best fare in this sale probably would be LAX-DCA for $139 OW, but only valid on Tues-Thurs

Nice

Always nice to have the little 'extras' included.

The best deal from ANC this summer seems to be the nonstop to Denver at about 360 or so. I've already done one mileage run with it, and I'll do one or two more before the summer is over (seasonal flight).

Are you sure access is allowed on an AWARD ticket from another carrier?

Yes... When we book on BA in F using AS miles we can access the Concorde room, or when flying in J on Delta we can access the SkyClubs.

Same goes for AS when flying on partner miles.

Yep. Your boarding pass will show "A" (or "F," if you've paid for peak--if that's possible with another carrier's miles). That's all the BR folk look at. They just want to see you're not in "U."

On a cpm (cents per mile) basis its DCA. But not with one stop in SEA... we have a special routing that requires an overnight in DCA.

ANC-PDX-SEA-LAX-DCA-LAX-SEA-PDX-ANC - 10614 eqm's for $504.40
