Unfortunately the CX lounge in MNL is "temporarily closed until further notice".

What lounge is QR using at SFO and SEA? What about Male, Maldives? I can't get the QR website link to pull anything up. Or no lounge at all for Emerald or biz class?

Malé has one airport operated lounge that all airlines use. It is nothing special, but gets you away from the crowds of the general area. Food is abysmal, but there are drinks. At the moment you can't get anything yourself, you ask the staff for what you want, and they give it to you. Not table service, just serviced buffet. Emerald, Sapphire, and J gets access on QR.

I have had no reason to get a priority pass, so I don't know what they offer in Malé. But the one I wrote about is airside.
Though I am quite opposed to the idea of landside lounges in general, and specifically when there is also an immigration counter to pass on top of security. It just makes it too hard to plan the time needed. In Malé you do have to visit the immigration officers on the way out of the country.

It is almost impossible to get into Alaska Lounges. along the west coast they put up a sign early in the morning saying they are full. And with covid restrictions, I don't know of anyone with PPass that has gotten in during the last year.

Plus, QR flights from the West Coast generally depart around 13:00-15:00. Not in the early morning rush.

Technically that is true, but having just flown through LAX and SEA on international as OWE, I was put on the waitlist and was told that AS lounge in LAX was likely a 3 hour wait. So even with. J ticket, capacity limits precent access. Not sure where all these folks are coming from, but flying domestically in the US is climbing fast.
