That is incorrect.
This is the policy
If you are a United MileagePlus Star Alliance Gold customer, you may only access the United Clubs within the U.S. when departing from that airport on an international Star Alliance flight, not when departing on a domestic flight with United.

This may help to see the true picture, https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unit...-domestic.html (13 lounges including @ EWR, ORD, IAD, LAX,MIA, LGA, DTW and BOS)

True, but SQ denied it was a *G lounge and BR sort took the same stance and it was the operator that denied access, not UA or UA personal. And it is been a non-issue for some time.

I would state it the other way --- until there is a denial, the best assumption is there will be access - the vast data support access. Lack of a denial, this is pure speculation. There is no instance I am aware UA personnel blocking UA *G from access an *A lounge -- none.
