Does Iceland air have a saga lounge in SEA?

I will be flying LAX to SEA then flying Saga class Iceland Air to KEF. I will have about a 3 hour lay-over and will be checking bags in LA and expect I will be able to check them through even though bought as 2 separate tickets. What lounge is available to me.? Thanks

Which airline are you flying LAX to SEA on? What’s your plan if that’s late and you miss the flight to KEF?

Best not assume bags will be checked through when separate tickets are involved. again what’s your plan if bags aren’t checked through?

As to lounge I would check their website.

Bags will not be checked through. US airlines in general refuse to check bags through for international flights which are ticketed separately. I can also confirm from first hand experience that even JetBlue as Icelandair's partner, refused to check bags through for ATL-(BOS)-KEF.
..and for the lounge question, Icelandair uses The Club in Seattle.

I am flying Alaska LAX to SEA. My first flight arrives 3 hours before the flight to Iceland. Do you not believe I can check my bags through?

Hi,

It will be Alaska's baggage policies that will deterimine if the bags can be checked through on separate PNR's

Per this thread on the Alaska forum;

Checked Baggage Changes - No Interlining on Separate Tickets or Split PNRs

It does not look likely about baggage.

Re Lounge: details are here

https://www.icelandair.com/en-gb/sup...le-tacoma-sea/

Looks like Club international.

Regards

Reading some of the recent messages in that old thread, people have been able to interline in recent months. That matches my person experience with AS and DE. As the OP was told in a similar thread about the same trip in the AS forum, it will likely depend on the agent they encounter at LAX.

And mac&cheese again yesterday. Too bad the Amex Centurion lounge closes already at 10pm.

Lounge: "The Club", it is, well, not good.

Interlining your bags: Most likely not if the segments are on different PNRs and there is no interlining agreement. Check and see if FI and your other airline have an Interlining Agreement and present that information when you check in at LAX.
