Lounge Access Questions Platinum AAdvantage
Hi guys,
This is the first time I am posting here so please move this thread if not in right place. I am a Platinum AAdvantage member. I am going to India next month. I have a flight from ORD-LHR on British. Am I allowed to go to any lounges in Chicago or London? I have never been to a lounge. Thanks.

What class of service are you in (coach, WT+, business, first)? In business or higher, then you'd get lounge access regardless of your Oneworld Sapphire status.
Oh and welcome to FT!

Agree. I think most of the international One world lounges are better than the AA flagships. I spend a lot of time in the QF lounges in Sydney, Auckland, Brisbane and they are nice.

I may even prefer the AA Flagship at JFK over the LHR T5 F lounge. The latter is often to crowded and the food offerings not of great quality. And: staff at AA louinges are alsways so helpful for queries and problem solving. I do like the F lounge at LHR T3 though. Smaller but nices atmosphere.
