Rather than opening a new thread, I thought I would ask the question here.
I am flying the following routing:
IAH-NRT in BusinessFirst on Continental
NRT-TPE in Economy on ANA
TPE-NRT in Business Class on United
NRT-IAH in BusinessFirst on Continental
ANA has 2 lounges at NRT - the ANA Lounge and the ANA Suite Lounge. I would like to go to the Suite Lounge, but my admission would be based on their interpretation of BusinessFirst as First Class or Business Class. If they consider BF as Business, I will probably be directed to the regular ANA Lounge - but if I can sell them on it being First Class, I might gain entry to the Suite Lounge.
Is my interpretation correct, or am I totally off and will get directed to the ANA Lounge strictly on the basis of my *Gold status and they won't care about my ticketed cabin on a partner airline? Which boarding pass do they check for entry...my arrival BP or departure BP?
