Hi,

Long time viewer to this great site, first post - actually first question I've had that couldn't already find the answer to on this site!

Flying Cathay 881 LAX-HKG economy without any Cathay status. In past international travels I'd like to get to the airport early and I purchase a day lounge pass at a elite club (only used UAL and DL). Since I'm flying Cathay who is One World it appears in the Tom Bradley Terminal at LAX the clubs are specific to only first and business class passengers for the One World Club. Has anyone had success purchasing a one-day pass to the American Airlines/ US Airways (it appears they share a club) while flying Cathay out of LAX? I would assume it would be ok since they are in the same alliance but wanted to confirm. And, can that be bought at the terminal or in advance?

This will be the start of a honeymoon trip to Asia so it would great to start the trip off to a nice relaxing start before the long-haul and get through security early and wait in peace and quiet.

Any help or other suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Eric
