ONEWORLD speak - "Access to airline lounges
The oneworld alliance airlines provide over 340 lounges across the globe. If you are a top-tier member of one of our frequent flyer programs, you will have access to our lounges prior to departure."
Well I am a top tier member and had a FC ticket and having just been to ORD I thought I would try the AA FCL lounge there - oops - what AA any class lounge ? Well I guess American does not have lounges in major American airports like ORD. The AA checkin attendant was very pleasant though - which terminal do I use to transfer to CX in LAX pls ?" "Sorry I don't know." (the info is actually shown in American Way inflight magazine) So much for oneworld.
On the way into LAX we got wake washed by an Airbus - the AA plane flipped 50 degrees both sides - nice to see HKG are now intending their vertical separation to be the same as LAX so the Chep Lap Kok windshear can add to the new landing fun.
