NM: What airline did you take, that you were able to get into so many diverse lounges with your QC card? You mentioned BA, AC I think, etc. I thought with QC, you could technically only get into the lounge of the specific airline you are flying. Unless you were utlizing some other OW status card that I might have missed in your message.</font>
This was a OneWorld Award flight involving QF (BNE-AKL-LAX), AA (LAS-LAX-DFW-MCO), BA (YYZ-LHR-KBP-LHR-NCL), AY (TXG-HAM-HEL-FRA), CX (FRA-HKG) and QF (HKG-SYD-BNE).
We used the carrying airline's lounges at all departure points except LAS. However, at KBP, TXG, HEL and FRA only 5 of us used the lounges (two adults and 3 kids), while all other points all seven of us were granted access.
The only lounge that asked for guest passes (of which I was carrying plenty) was the QF lounge at HKG.
So, in summary, we used these lounges:
BNE - Qantas Club Business Class Lounge
AKL - Qantas Club First Class Lounge
LAX - Admirals Club T4 Lounge
DFW - Admirals Club Lounge (can't remember which terminal)
YYZ - BA Exec Club Business Class Lounge
LHR - BA Exec Club Terminal 1 International Lounge
KBP - Shared Business Class Lounge
LHR - BA Exec Club Terminal 1 Domestic Lounge
TGX - AY's Club Lounge
HEL - AY's Club Lounge
FRA - CX Business Class Lounge
HKG - Qantas Club Business Class Lounge
SYD - Qantas Club Terminal 3 Domestic Lounge
Note that we were all travelling on economy class award tickets. As a OneWorld Emerald, I am entitled to use First Class lounges where available, but one concession requested at some places for allowing 7 people in was that we use the business class lounge instead of the F lounge.
