No. Access is based on departing flight class.

Many thanks again Kacee, wasn't doubting the answers over on the UA forum- just posted the questions on both forums(here as well) as they came to mind when I was looking over my upcoming flights.

At least we all agree on the answer

Lucky you didn't get dinged for cross posting.

You might as well try for the F lounge and see what happens.

Thank you thank you, apologies if I overlooked any forum rules/etiquette as that was not my intent.

Doesn't bother me one bit. In fact, I think cross posting makes it easier for people to find information, but the admins don't agree. :-)

Fortunately the ANA moderator is a very nice guy. ^

^ Thank you and agreed - great to know about cross posting , I would have thought it's okay to ask anywhere on a forum as long as the posts are specific and apply to the corresponding threads, etc.

Flying SIN-NRT-LAX, only about 1:45 layover in NRT.

Wife and child is flying Singapore J, Myself and my other kid is flying Singapore F.
Any way to swing our entire family into F lounge or are they pretty strict about that?

Each F passenger can invite one guest. So two F inviting two J should be fine.

So I'm a little confused (maybe I shouldn't be).

I am contemplating flying NH F ORD-HND arriving 2030.
Connecting to NH J HND-HKG departing at like 0100.

Can I access ANA F lounge at HND even if my connection is in J , not F?
I saw the question above about UA F > NH J connecting at NRT = no F lounge access, I thought I'd ask again.

I think officially, the outbound class of service dictates the lounge - so no.

But users here have said showing your F BP is likely to get you in anyways. So give it a shot and please report back!

It should be yes because it's NH -> NH
Multiple times I go NH F -> NH J I've never had any hesitations or concerns. In theory we "paid" (with miles ) for an F ticket but they only had an J seat going to wherever your final destination is.

Unless you get an lounge agent in an bad mood I really don't see why they wouldn't put you in F. Besides the J lounge can get full at times and they are both really identical.

Thanks for that - what? NH lounge agents in a bad mood? Is that a thing?
