The OP may have put aadvantage in place of either.
EXP status does not matter in this case. Lounge access is dependent on the card. I have the Executive Card, which I went for only because T-2 has no other lounges and VX has been my #1 in the past 4 years.
But to my point above, I'd sacrifice the points on the flight to fly VX and have access to a really nice AC lounge vs flying on AS.
