Everytime in the past I had no problem getting in the the ANA or NW lounge.
However, on my last trip, I tried two ANA lounges and was rejected at both.
I understand NW...but what has changed with ANA? They even picked up the phone and called somebody because i was so persistant.....but was still rejected.
Is this just the way it is or is there some secret Yokyo handshake I am missing?
thanks...
Check
here for a list of lounges you can enter as a Star Alliance Gold member. As I understand it, you must be departing on a Star Alliance member airline for entry. Since JAL is a OneWorld member, I think that is why you were denied.
Star Alliance Gold Customers Travelling in Any Class: Customers have access to any Star Alliance member carriers' owned lounges with the Star Alliance Gold logo at the entrance.
- Customer must present a valid frequent flyer programme Star Alliance Gold level card
- Customer must also present a boarding card for a same day Star Alliance flight departing from the local airport
- Customer is entitled to one guest
- Continental, United, and US Airways Star Alliance Gold customers may only access the Presidents Club, Red Carpet Club and US Airways Clubs within the U.S. when travelling in conjunction with a Star Alliance international flight.
