Right...unless something has changed (I have not been on a plane for over 2 years now), the LH and TK lounges in IAD and the Star Alliance Lounge in LAX let you in when you fly UA domestic and has MileagePlus Gold or above. Anyone else?
SQ had their own lounge at SFO but they would not let UA MP domestic flyers in. I don't think AC lets UA MP domestic flyers into their MLL in the US either.
The UA/VA deal certainly will entice me to visit more cities in AU when I go. Do they have a "Visit Australia" type of multi-coupon pass?
