That is fine but that does not mean that BA can deny status based OW
customers an entry into their lounge if you are flying Qatar. QR made
arrangements for their First and Business class passengers (who may
not have OW status) by contracting a lounge but that should not take
away the lounge privileges of OW customers...

F.A.
