You can check the precise restrictions on where lounge access is restricted for those in business/1st class and those holding status with AA by checking on the oneworld site.
I know you can check. But my point is it is ridiculously complicated. "Domestic" is not within the US. Also includes many countries that cannot even remotely be considered as part of the US. Mexico except for Mexico City? Certain transcontinental flights are not domestic?

I mean, it is almost like lawyers wrote these rules. If they want to make it simple why don't you let you know, before you buy the ticket, if you are logged in to your account, whether you get lounge access? (actually I think Delta may have that feature)

Those comparisons are irrelevant, since the CoC wouldn't even address perks like lounge access. If I'm considering a flight on an unfamiliar carrier, it takes me all of a minute or two to Google the product features I'm most interested in.

Actually, that wouldn't be enough, depending on the information you are looking for. Many times I'm looking for info on the amenities on the plane, but it depends on which plane you are on. And whether it is refurbished. Say LH for example. If you were taking a flight out of BOS you might need to look at the differences between aircraft, and when they are refurbishing them and on what routes.

It is easy to an experienced flier, or someone who browses FT all day long, but I doubt it is so easy for just anybody.

I guess I'm not entirely sure what the point is, then. You're saying that passengers shouldn't have to search for info on their flight amenities, but it's impossible for airlines to publish perfect details about the minutiae of every amenity on every flight operated by them and their partners, so?

A Moderator posted a warning about adhering to the Rules, but as that seems not to have much effect this thread will be closed.
