Yes, the AS BR is a nice stop in Seattle. I should mention I've been able to get in with a NW boarding pass by using the line that its a code share. (I think they are savy to the situation with CO/NW.)

Question: anyone ever try a DL pass?

I got in this past weekend w/a NW WC card and my NWA tickets in a AS ticket jacket... No hassles from the lounge person whatsoever!

The PC service center responded to my query and told me in no uncertain terms that you still need to have a CO or AS coded flight to get into the BR as a PC member. So I think getting in outside that situation is still very much a YMMV situation with no guarantees, particularly at stations where they don't see a lot of PC members (eg YVR).

Now let's see when this expanded BR access gets updated on co.com!

The SFO BR is not even on the continental.com PC list (shows PC, WBC, CRC), but the YVR one is:

Vancouver, BC Canada (YVR)
Alaska Airlines Boardroom
Members must present their membership card and Continental Airlines ticket issued for same-day departure for entry.
Guests Allowed: Yes

Other BR locations such as SEA are not shown, but all BR locations listed state CO boarding pass required. But as noted, YMHV. ;)

BTW I'll bite on this blurb from the AS website describing amenities - what is "Premium Call™ beer, wine, and cocktails"??

I have used the ANC and SEA BR's on a few occassions during the last year. Always impressed with both

According to AS at YVR and also according to the PC service center, an AS or CO operated flight is what is required along with PC membership. The website is incorrect at least to the extent that AS will clearly let you in with a boarding pass for an AS flight. I saw their written list of procedures at YVR, which definitely had both those flight options and no others listed for admittance for a PC member.
