Admiral Club membership good at Alaska Lounge in Seattle?
I’m flying through Seattle on an American itinerary but Alaska metal. Is it possible for me to use my Admirals Club membership to get into the Alaska lounge? If it makes any difference I’m platinum flying on a business class tickets.

In addition, if you have a paid first class ticket (not upgrade) and are flying Alaska metal, even on domestic flights, you can also get into Alaska lounges without any membership. Just show your boarding pass that says First Class (and not "U" fare).
If you have a Seattle layover, check out their new lounge at the N gates (short train ride required), it's gorgeous and they have actual baristas for all your coffee needs

As others have said, your membership gets you access, as long as you have the physical card with you. And you must be flying on either AA or AS.

This is key advice - it's easily one of the nicest domestic airline lounges in the country, right up there with the new United Club at EWR. My only gripe is lack of showers, which sure would be nice after connecting from QR719 or other ULH routes. Also, the lounge in the C concourse is closed for renovations (or at least was last Friday). It is so quick and easy to get around SEA with the train system, so going to the N lounge is absolutely necessary.

I was just in both in N and D. N is much larger and excellent tarmac views if you like plane spotting it's really exceptional. I think it's worth the short tram ride to get there. Also the Centurion Lounge in Seattle is excellent. Better than the Alaska Airlines lounges. D is nice as well but smaller.

Surprisingly last time I was in SEA and JFK last month, when I went to the Alaska lounges the Admirals Club info was attached to my AA#.
In JFK they asked for my AA#, entered it in their ipad and it popped up. In SEA they literally just scanned the boarding pass and said I was good to go.
Only ones that I have been to lately that do the call are both LAX and SFO, for some reason they are still on older software with the iPads that don’t show your status.
Still, bring a card just in case!
