This is not correct.
It's any lounge so long as you have a same-day international boarding pass.
The
*A Lounge Access Policy is clearly posted at the *A website. Probably best to familiarize yourself with it rather than posting factually incorrect information that could be confusing to others.
As for Caribbean destinations, they are considered international. However, an airline may restrict its own members on that type of ticket. So if CO decides to say Caribbean does not qualify, then CO *G's can be denied access on Caribbean tickets. However, CO would not be allowed to deny UA or US *G's on Caribbean tickets.
This is very similar to how it works with Mexico presently. US denies their own US *G members access to the US Clubs when travelling to/from Mexico. However, US may not deny UA *G's or any other *Gs because they meet the int'l BP definiation.
