US Club member access Admiral lounge @ ORD?
With US Airways no longer part of *A, is there any lounges in ORD Terminal 2 that US Club members can access?
I notice there's an Admiral lounge in Terminal 3 and therefore I just wonder if anyone has tried to use the Admiral lounge and then walked back to Terminal 2? May be the question is there a link between T2 & T3 after security?

No problems at all. And the AAdmirals Club (one of them) it is quite large.

according to the update on US airways website then CP's should have access to the Flagship lounge in T3. Has anyone tried it for domestic flights?

Meant to include the link but forgot:
Goto http://www.usairways.com/en-US/divid...d/default.html then expand and click on the About frequent flyer benefits.
The wording indicates that Emerald/US CP can access Flagship lounge but it's not clear if that is applicable when a CP is travelling on domestic flights. I tempted to try yesterday but then the Flagship lounge at ORD in T3 is too far away as I would need to get back to T2.

I doubt CP can access the FL on a wholly-domestic itinerary. EXP can't.
However, US Club members should get into the Admirals Club no problem. There's two at ORD T3 - Concourse G and at the H/K Concourse nexus. The G AC is closer to T2, but the H/K AC is bigger and nicer. No need to reclear "security" in either case. G is about a 5 min walk from T2; H/K about 10.

I doubt it either. However *G benefit would let you visit non-US airline based airline lounges in US on domestic itinerary. This benefit seems to go away.
