As per *A ( http://www.staralliance.com/en/benef...access-policy/):

"Domestic First Class: Some Star Alliance Member carriers offer lounge access to customers travelling in domestic First Class.

Where Domestic First Class level lounges are offered, customers must present a boarding pass for travel in Domestic First Class on a Star Alliance flight
Customer must be departing from the local airport in Domestic First Class
Customers must be a revenue customer
Customer is entitled to one guest
Domestic Business Class: Some Star Alliance Member carriers offer lounge access to customers travelling in domestic Business Class.

Where Domestic Business Class level lounges are offered, customers must present a boarding pass for travel in Domestic Business Class on a Star Alliance flight
Customer must be departing from the local airport in Domestic Business Class
Customers must be a revenue customer
Customer is not entitled to any guests"

Many thanks for your answers in advance! ^
My understanding is that purposes of *A lounge access, UA will consider your itin (to YYZ) as international, and your domestic F cabin class as business. Thus you should get access to a United Club under the *A international business class lounge access rules and not the domestic rules (UA for the most part denies access for domestic itins unless one is a *G of a foreign airline or a paid club member of UC or allied club). Look at http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...ss-ticket.html for several concurring opinions and experiences.

Now as to whether you be allowed in is a different question. If I were you, I would post to http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...up-thread.html to see if anyone will guest you in case there are issues.
