My return is EI DUB-LHR discounted coach, UA LHR-ORD paid J. Will I qualify for lounge access in DUB under the provision for "Passengers travelling in Business Class (trans-atlantic)" or will my *G be sufficient? Alternatively, my flight is not booked as a BA codeshare, but also carries a BA flight number. Can I gain access as a BA Silver?
Thanks for the clarification.
These are two separate tickets ORD-LHR and LHR-DUB, right? Did you book the LHR-DUB flexi fare on the EI website? If so you get lounge access.
DUB-LHR with no flexi fare: no lounge access but you can book access on the web for a fee. As you are booked on an EI flight the BA situation is irrelevant, BA cards only give you access if you have a BA connection.
