Can you advise if this is up to date, c-w-s (or anyone else)? I'm flying AA F SEA-PHL, connecting same day to BA J PHL-LHR. Will I have access to the Alaska Boardroom at SEA? The BA lounge won't be open then.

No, not when flying AA. If you are flying AS F you would have access. See also these more recent threads:

Access to Alaska Lounge at SEA, booked with a BA flight number
In addition, the AS lounges at SEA are leaving PriorityPass:

My two most recent experiences with Alaska Lounge in SEA yielded different outcomes: - BAEC membership. No AA membership

(i) Nov 2017 - SEA-JFK (AA First) connecting to JFK-LGW (BA Club World) - Access Granted to Alaska Lounge
I asked the AA staff at the check in counter whether we (my wife and I) were entitled to any lounge, he directed us to Alaska Boardroom where we were granted access with no hassles whatsoever. The lady at the entrance of the lounge verified our three boarding passes (SEA-JFK; JFK-LON; LON-MRU) and welcomed us in with a large smile.

(ii) June 2018 - SEA-Dallas (AA First) purely domestic- We were BAEC Silver then. Had 6 hrs layover to kill and entered Alaska Boardroom only to be denied access and told we needed to have AA membership to get entry.

So to recap: if flying AA (First) followed by International OneWorld flight in Business, then I presume it has to be a YES.

If AA only (First), irrespective of OneWorld Status, NO ACCESS.

I would say the UK is far enough over to allow access, at least for the time being.

So, just tried both the C and D Alaska lounges at SEA and twice rejected. Explained that I was connecting to BA international but still no dice.

Didnt matter much as TSA had kept me waiting for so long it was time to board anyway, but wouldve liked to have checked out the new C lounge.
