I'm OW Emerald, travelling Y with son 1. Mrs paul4471 and son 2 are no status but travelling J.

We have a 14:00 departure from PEK to KIX on 30 Jan and having never been there I'm keen to find out about best OW lounge choice in Beijing. Someone mentioned the AY lounge was good - looking at the AY schedule it doesn't appear they have a flight that day - do they own their lounge (and hence likely to be closed) at PEK or is it shared?

Would appreciate regulars feedback on which lounge would be best choice as OW emerald in PEK?

I believe as we are on JAL we will travel from Terminal 3 - the JAL sitye seems (very confusing FF tiers) to indicate we can use the Air China (*A) First class lounge - anyone experienced it? Very limited and mixed reviews on the * site.

Thanks again, paul4471
