No. As DJ fly from the domestic terminal there are no *G lounges at all. DJ have their Blue Room but it's not quite the same as a real lounge and costs $5.
In SYD is UA's lounge for *G pax? I was denied access to this lounge in June while travelling to BKK on TG. (Was told "We don't allow access for *G pax travelling TG" (?) Too tired to argue.
The SYD RCC is for *G. You should be allowed into any *G lounge when travelling *G that day, but as others report, sometimes individual lounges claim otherwise.
Can we use the NZ or SQ lounge at SYD if we wish?
Yes. If told to go to RCC tell them you heard their lounge is so much better.
Will we get access to RCC in LAX on our LAX-PHL-LGW leg?
Yes. Show ongoing BP and SYD-LAX BP and tell them your on an international itinerary.
Which lounge(s) can we access in PHL and any recommendations?
Can't help there sorry.
We stopover in PHL on IB then same day PHL-UA-LAX-UA-SYD-DJ/UA-BNE.
Can we access any *G lounge in PHL?
Yes (don't if there are any beyond RCC). For RCC show them you're on an international itinerary.
Can we access any *G lounge on our return to SYD? Be great to have a shower etc!
No. The lounges are in the international departures area and you will have to leave intl to go to the domestic terminal. Plus your ongoing flight is not a *A flight so no access anyway I think.
Print a copy of the *A lounge access rules, and a copy of the RCC/ADMIT profile (search the MileagePlus forum) to take with you in case of any hassles. Be sure to ask for your drink certificates at LAX RCC on way back to SYD.
