So, this means if I'm flying in coach through LHR as an OW emerald, I have free access to Admirals, whilst a business class ticket on BA connecting to AA would give me access to Admirals and Galleries but not the CX lounge in T3.
Is this correct? Thanks all.
As long as you hold a Business Class ticket , you are allowed into any lounge irrespective if you hold Sapphire or not. If you are in coach, you just show your Sapphire card to any lounge you want access at T3 - the exception is the CX lounge.. Though you are allowed access, CX has right to refuse you entry if they are running full and you're not on their flight.
