The OneWorld guesting rules based on tier level states:
'Emerald and Sapphire members may invite one guest. The guest must also be travelling on a flight marketed and operated by a OneWorld carrier'. Stupidly, I wish I printed this from the website as when I arrived at the lounge the attendant refused entry to my guest as he was not on the same flight as me.
Has anyone else had this experience? Am I mis-reading the rules here? Or was the lounge attendant in the wrong?
OW rules exclude third party lounges from the normal guesting rules.
If you tried to access a OW airline operated lounge, than that would be no problem. Personally guested friends who were flying other OW airlines than me.
