Stopped in yesterday from 9:30 AM to 10:30 AM. A contact who works there let me know that the day before they'd had a waitlist from about 2 PM to 6 PM local. When I arrived the club was about half full. Even so the agents were vigorous about the entry policies. The AS mobile BP hides boarding time in the top right corner so I was asked pointedly what time my flight left before they scanned it. They also booted a man who tried to bring in McDonalds.









As I mentioned the club was pretty empty and I had a choice of seats in the main area or in the bar area. However, by the time I left at 10:30 it was filling up and no sooner had I stood up to go than someone grabbed my table. As usual food was substandard



Cold cuts, breads, cereals (Captain Crunch!) and oatmeal were what I saw.



I did like the water and dried fruit station though



I will say that the bar area with its views is one of my favorite places at any CL to relax. The bartender was also amazing. She came around to pour refills and made great cocktails once the bar opened up at 10:30

This lounge is even more reason for the Platinum cardholder to fly Delta so they have access to the Skyclub which is around the corner from this place. I'm usually a Centurion Lounge defender, but the food here sucks, it's overcrowded pretty much all the time. Last time I was there I was in the far corner in the main room and a guy asked to share my 12 inch table.

I agree, the gap between the SEA CL and the SEA SC is massive. Unfortunately, I was flying Alaska so it was either this or walk all the way down A to use the United Club or hit up one of The Clubs. This was the best of a bad hand.

Free* booze and free* average hot food. I won't mention relaxation as I find an military chow hall to be more relaxing and less busy.

The problem I have is that when I'm in SEA I'm not flying Delta. And I think that applies to most folks, which is why the DL lounge is so much calmer!

Like the other person replied, tables are reserved for Centurion members. That said, it's not as if I can call in and request a reservation at a particular date and time -- it just means each lounge has one or two tables always reserved for any Centurion members that show up. It's a nice little perk, especially cause it means never being turned away despite a waitlist for Plats. Other than that, the other minor Centurion benefits include a selection of nicer champagne and scotch, and the agents also usually will take the drink order while walking you to the table and bring it to you directly in order to avoid any lines at the bar.

I have about 1hr layover flying on DL this weekend at SEA. I am looking for the best lounge option for hot food and/or lunch options. I do have Centurion Lounge access which is beneficial since I will have a guest with me, but I have heard the Delta SkyClub might be a better option? I'm aware this would cost $29 for my guest, so it would need to be considerably better I imagine. I don't really care which lounge is larger, just talking food quality and options here.

Also have priority pass through CSR but seldom use it because of the lackluster options domestic anyway.

Thanks.

The Club had a decent lunch spread this past week. (Priority Pass) While the only hot options were soup and macaroni y cheese, there were a few sandwiches/wraps, and decent salad bar offerings.
The hot options in the Centurion Lounge weren't particularly appealing. I did nibble on the chicken dish, which wasn't bad, but actually glad we ate first at The Club (which is a long hike down the A gates).

I think the Delta SkyClub is a bit better personally. A bit more substantial food items, larger space, better views. Not sure if it's worth paying $29 for what it offers beyond Centurion Lounge, but they're not too far apart. Why not go to Centurion, see if it's worth it, then pop over to Delta Lounge if you're wanting more?

Usually cross-posting is discouraged. I'll tag Mia but we should probably merge your two threads...

Lunch at SEA Skyclub

Skyclub > Centurion except for alcohol selection, but not $29 better for a guest fee. Remember DL starts boarding 40 minutes before domestic departures so with a one hour layover you really have 20 minutes to disembark and navigate to the other gate. Row 25 on an A321 and you might not even have time to stop at either!

I appreciate the heads up. Merge away.

Was not sure the best place to ask - but thanks for the feedback.

Does the SEA lounge not participate in the mobile checkin feature? The lounge shows up in the Amex app but there's no "begin lounge check-in" button on the page like what I see when pulling up the SFO lounge page. Hadn't used the feature yet and was curious to try it out before a flight today

Very unimpressed with the Centurion lounge at SEA.
It is way too small and crowded.
Very claustrophobic
When I was there, around noon or so, the place was jampacked!
There were almost no seats.
It was so difficult to navigate with a carryon.
Food was decent though, with a good selection.

Delta Skyclub is way nicer.
Very bright, lots of room, dont feel closed in, plenty of seating, lots of windows with 2 storey ceiling to floor windows.
Food is decent and as good if not better than Centurion.

Definitely wont be going to Centurion lounge if flying on Delta.

How does the wait list work? If had a few hours to kill could you hypothetically go to the Centurion lounge, put your name on the waitlist, go to the Club lounge for a bit to eat their superior food, then return to Centurion for their superior cocktails when you've moved up the list? Or do you lose your spot on the wait list if you're not there when they call your name?
