Lounge Access with AB Topbonus Gold @ Code share partners:

Malev (BUD)
I got access to the Malev Lounge.

Any other lounges where you got access?

Does the AB card provide lounge access when flying any OneWorld carrier? And, the other way around, does a random Oneworld carrier's card provide access to AB lounges?

Not much in the way of airberlin lounges anyway. oneworld membership isn't finalized yet, so don't think there would be any access.

The only AB lounge I've seen is in Berlin, and it's not staffed. You have to swipe your AB status card to get in.

Here's a model of the lounge at the new airport

There is the former LTU-Lounge in DUS.

Hi, you can also just use your ticket. Or if another person (without status) is booked & checked in together with you, they also get in by just scanning their ticket.

Wow... so small ! I'm a bit surprised, try to count the seats and then think about all the AA and BA members entitled to use the lounge when AB is in OW. A lot worst crowded than the LH Biz lounge in FRA !

I wonder if they'll include alcohol once in OW.

Knowing very small AB lounges like the one in CGN I think the size is about right for BER - if the number of seats offered is too small (e.g. if they or AA+EY fly a lot more long hauls from BER in the future) they can put in at least double the seats in the open space without making it too crowded...

Perhaps there will be another OW lounge at BER?

And maybe something other than the PP lounge in YVR?

There is British Airways and Cathay Pacific lounge at Vancouver. Airberlin Sapphires and Emeralds will be able to use both of them; Emeralds will even be able to use British Airways First lounge. Question is whether they change lounge for non-status passengers or not.

What lounge can I access with my AB card (Gold member) at SFO? I would assume any of the OW lounges since Gold AB = Sapphire status.

However on AB's website, when I check SFO, it says the "Delta Lounge". I thought Delta was part of Sky Team, so wasn't sure why it directs me to that lounge and not AA.

Lastly, I'm flying on a combination of AS & AA using a reward ticket issued by AS (AS from SFO-PDX-ORD. Then AA from ORD-DUB).

Will I still be able to access the OW lounge at SFO with my AB Card? Or will I be denied since my flight from SFO is on AS (which is not part of OW).

BTW, on my ticket (even the AA portion), I won't have my AB status on there, but I think as long as I show my AB Card, I should be ok to enter the lounge, at least at the ORD AAdmirals Club. (or other OW lounge).

What OW lounge will I be able to access on the way back when I depart Dublin? (I'll be on AA--heard the lounges were being moved/renovated, etc).
Thanks!
