I am counting on that last item above being changed to something like the following:

"*Continental, United and US Airways Star Alliance Gold customers may only access the CO PC, UA Red Carpet Club and US Airways Clubs within the U.S. when travelling in conjunction with a Star Alliance international flight."

The policy will remain that most Star Alliance carriers' *Gs (excepting CO/UA/US *Gs) will get access to the * Alliance carrier's lounges even when traveling only domestically on * airlines.

OK I believe I have a NAZI Lounge agent stalking me.

I get this agent - usually a female, but now and again a male - who is at every lounge I try to enter when traveling on a *A first class reward ticket.

I get pushback ALL the time - do not know why.

Please clarify for me (If you know these answers - i realize we are waiting for more info about the Oct CO entrance to *A and need more details).

I book a economy class ticket on CO for travel only in the USA.
I have a PC membership.

Can I enter a *A lounge in the USA?
Can I enter a RCC lounge in USA?
Can I enter a US Air lounge in the USA?




Related question....

My wife was returning from a FRA to Washington D.C. to PWM on Luft and then onto United.
She was first class (not Bus class) from FRA to Washington, D.C. then economy washington to PWM.

NOTE: the Washington - PWM had NO seats so it was I guess called a vol. downgrade if I am correct.
She could use the fabulous LH lounge in FRA but once in the USA they would NOT let her enter either the LH lounge OR the UA lounge because she was done with the first class leg and now in "Economy" (not by choice) on this last leg in the regional jet.

Were they correct in denying access?

I thought as long as she had first class international tix, basically she could get into most any LH/UA/*A lounge during the same day of travel.


Please help.
