Lounge access when transferring at ICN

Hi,

I just booked an award ticket on KE for JFK-ICN-HKG.

JFK-ICN is in F and ICN-HKG is in Y (only Y seats available on the flight I want).

I'm not totally familiar with SkyTeam lounge access rules, and therefore was wondering if I can access the KE F lounge at ICN during my transfer in this case: arriving in F but connecting into Y.

Thank you-

Not according to skyteam rules unless have elite plus status (no arrivals lounge access and departing flight in economy is not eligible).

Thanks.
Hopefully a J award seat will become available before departure.

Alliance rules notwithstanding, airlines frequently have more generous rules for their own pax. This is true, for example, with LH, OZ, TG, and UA, all of which grant their own F pax F lounge access even if the onward connection is in a lesser class of service.
