I'll agree with you on the 4 hours in one lounge. The most I could spend is two. I don't care how nice the lounge is. The novelty wears off.
There was one person who posted they had 18 hours to kill and wanted to visit all 6 lounges in HKG. If you have that much time to kill, get a room.
Can we hold off on the judgment and just stick to facts in this thread? Some people outside of Flyertalk would call a lot of people crazy for flying so much but that's not particularly helpful or friendly.
On point: I am flying AA to South America from t4, tried to get into the OW F dba QF F lounge and agent denied me saying I needed to be "connecting internationally" (some AA intl->domestic flights fly from TBIT??) or on a OW flight departing TBIT.
I pressed and asked her to verify with a supervisor and she let me in. Not the greatest way to get in and doesn't help with clarity at all.
I know some OW lounges, e.g. the BA lounge at IAH routinely deny AA fliers because they are departing from a different terminal. And IAH is even worse because there is no other lounge for AA or OW, aside from a contract lounge QR uses for their J pax.
