[B] Without OW status you only have access to the lounge of the airline that you are flying, so you have Terraces or J lounge access. [B]</font>
Then how come I was able to get access to the AA Flagship Lounge in DFW when I was flying DFW-JFK in AA and JFK-HKG on CX (both sectors in F)? I was an AA/RUBY (which does not allow lounge access) and not even a member of the Admirals Club!
What I did was that I showed the lounge receptionist my TICKET showing that I have a flight on a Oneworld carrier in the CLASS OF SERVICE that would entitle me to lounge access. The receptionist had to call upstairs to the Flagship lounge to confirm.
So I was admitted to the lounge based on CLASS OF SERVICE and NOT status.
