Just wanted to share a positive experience for *A Gold members at GIG. I was booked on a LAN/TAM codeshare on LAN metal from GIG to SCL with a LAN ticket and surprisingly was allowed lounge access with my United *A Gold card at GIG to the VIP lounge. Didn't really expect this given that I was flying on oneworld metal and don't hold oneworld status, but it was very refreshing to see the lounge (or at least the agent) who let me in, taking a more flexible stance given the recent LAN/TAM merger and the ambiguity between the alliance allegiance.
