Basically you're considered One World Sapphire and therefore get treated as a business class passenger regardless of cabin flown or whether the ticket is paid or not
My understanding is Business Class passengers on BA, without OW elite status, cannot have a guest in a BA lounge. Isn't this still correct?
So, if that is still true, a OW Sapphire is treated BETTER THAN a business class passenger, regarding lounge access.
