At GRU LAN uses the AA Admirals Club Lounge.
Unless LAN have some special arrangement there Oneworld status will count for nought on a flight not operated by a Oneworld carrier.
My experience at EZE as a AA EXP/OW Emerald flying Business class on a LAN-coded/TAM-operated/AA-issued ticket transiting from a QF 1st class flight was that neither LAN or AA wanted to have anything to do with me. The LAN transit desk had no interest in my questions referring me to the long line at the TAM desk.
Hopefully this will all soon change ? for the better assuming TAM integrates into Oneworld

Sorry to bump this. Did a search and this seems to be the best place.

Due to fly Economy from AEP to GRU on Saturday, I am OW sapphire. The flight is TAM operated but the ticket is on LA code share.

Will I get lounge access as OW sapphire, or do the TAM operated flights only recognise *A?

Nothing to worry about. There is no lounge at AEP.

^ Thanks KIXJNB, only flown out of there once before. IIRC there is a good selection of food/drink prior to gate areas.

Definitely no reason to switch back to EZE.

Is this still the situation?

I have upcoming JJ coded, LA operated flights and was wondering what was the chance for *G to enter the lounge?

At GRU and LIM, respectively.
