Redeeming Delta miles for LHR-SEA-SFO, with the London to Seattle leg being in Virgin Atlantic Upper Class. To get me home to SFO, I can pick either a Delta or Alaska flight. Booking into R class on Delta, A class on Alaska.

Which lounge in Seattle is better? Delta Sky Club® or Alaska Board Room? Connection time in Seattle is about the same (2:20 and 2:45; I have Global Entry).

Don’t know if it matters which flight I take. Would love to hear some opinions. Thanks!

Nick just posted an article about the new Delta SkyClub in Seattle that opened yesterday. It looks like one of the nicer domestic airline lounges I’ve ever seen, so I’d probably swing towards Delta!

Thanks [USER=1436]@rickyw[/USER] ! I totally missed Nick’s post.

Came straight to “Ask Lucky” this morning. Didn’t realize there were new entries on the blog. Usually get alerted to those via [USER=4]@Lucky[/USER] ‘s Twitter feed. As since Twitter is mostly down right now… well…

That new SkyClub does look fantastic! Makes my choice pretty easy.
