At the club, I was denied access as I was told that the club is only for onwards Business Class passengers on international flight (from YYZ) and as my flight ends in YYZ, I was not eligible for entry.

As I did not have much time, I decided against arguing.

Perhaps someone can help shed some light on this?

Was my access denied as I was traveling only on a 'domestic' J or perhaps upgraded tickets does come with partner lounge access?

Thank you
I'm 99.999999999% sure this is absolutely bull. Boston to Toronto is not a domestic flight. Even UA elite members should have been given access. You're not on a domestic J, you're on a TB J.

The lounge agent was incorrect. I'd be SHOCKED to find out if I'm wrong in this case.
