Apologies, you are both correct. I think what confused me is my primary Star airline, SQ, started limiting access to its lounges to those flying SQ only, not other Star airlines.

After then achieving Sapphire via BA, I was impressed I had access to AA's Admiral Clubs in the US even when flying AA domestically. Guess that made me get the perception ow's lounge policies were better.

I will correct my original post to remove my erroneous comment.

Thanks,
