Does the Metropolitan Lounge at PDX close with the departure of the EB, or does it stay open later than that? I'm asking on behalf of someone who'll be arriving on the northbound CS and might have to wait for a ride.
Yes.Can a Select Plus member use the lounge in Portland?
I don't believe so. In BOS/NYP/PHL/WAS the business class pax on the NE regional are not allowed into the Club Acela.Had no idea that Portland had a lounge. Are business class passengers on the Cascades allowed?
Not unless you have some other method to gain entry, like a same day sleeper ticket, AGR loung coupon, or you're a Select Plus member.I don't believe so.

I'm not exactly sure of the hours, but the Lounge is mainly for the connecting sleeper passengers between the EB and CS or the CS and EB. Since the northbound CS arrives at 3:40 and the eastbound EB departs (IIRC) at 4:45, it will be open until at least then!Don't know about the lounge, but according to Amtrak, the station itself is open until 9:15 PM. The CS arrives about 3:40 PM, so it's a good chance the lounge will still be open.
