Travelling on same day but not same itinerary:
1. YYZ - SFO on UA in PE (note my destination is New Zealand AKL via LAX) with 6 hour stopover in SFO (and I'd love to have lounge access during this time)
2. SFO - LAX on UA in Economy
3. LAX - AKL on AirNZ in PE
"United Airlines and US Airways Star Alliance Gold customers may only access the United Clubs and US Airways Clubs within the United States when traveling in conjunction with a Star Alliance international flight."
Am I understanding this correctly that I will have access? Or not because it's a different airport that I'm flying out internationally. I'm afraid to be denied and crush my lounge hopes!
I have checked the *A site and the SFO lounges pop up but with footnotes such as the one above re: in conjunction with *A intl flight. Ta!
Yes you'll have access, and I sense you may have slightly misunderstood what they meant with that sentence, so just for future information: the rule refers to people who are *G through US or UA's mileage programmes only (not people simply flying on UA or US) - and I saw you posting on the Aegean forum, so I assume you're A3*G. Since your membership is through A3, you'd have lounge access on a 100% domestic USA itinerary anyway ^
