Lounge strategy for long layover at SEA
I'm OW Sapphire. Will have nearly 8 hours to burn at SEA from 3pm to 11pm or so. Flying in on AA and out on AS.
Which lounge should I park my butt at? Since I've got all day, I don't care about proximity to my departing gate. I've been to the BA lounge and found it decent. Not sure If I need to have been flying BA (ticket is actually BA stock).

Have you considered leaving the airport? With 8 hours I certainly would.
Which airline are you oneworld sapphire with? Are you flying domestic?
The BA lounge will sometimes refuse entry to those not flying BA due to space limitations.
The Alaska Lounge N is the nicest but you could also visit the C lounge; D lounge is currently closed for renovations.
