I believe the lounge dragons were technically in the wrong, but convincing them that this is the case may be more challenging. I always carry a copy of the oneworld access rules with me and am prepared to argue the case if need be.

Having said that, when I went through KLIA a couple of weeks ago I visited all the international oneworld lounges, starting with the Golden Lounge first class section - which was very nice, BUT the most terrible selection of wine. Well, I say selection - they had one red (I don't drink red) and one white, whcih was a muscadet. For those unfamiliar with it, imagine the driest wine you can possibly find, and that's it. Why they didn't choose a middle-of-the-spectrum wine is beyond me. Anyway, it was so dry it was virtually undrinkable, so I tried the business class lounge next door, where the choice was... muscadet. I tried the regional lounge, where the choice was... muscadet. Eventually I went to the CX lounge where they had a very palatable selection!
