Sniffies saved the day!

We booked a last minute flight to seattle to surprise my brother for his 50th. Alaska was our best option, but thanks to chatGPT and a lack of info from Alaska, I had no idea they have their own lounge at JFK T7. After buying coffee I went looking for the BA galleries lounge (which I figured they wouldn’t let us into on a domestic itinerary) and, y’know, launched the gay meetup app Sniffies just for fun. Lo and behold what do i see but an Alaska lounge 20 steps away (with no airport signage). They let us in on a domestic first ticket and it had all the usual alaska things: strong coffee, the pancake machine (they’re calling it a pancake printer now) and a DIY trail mix bar. gorpin’ to the Decemberists whatwhatwhat?!
