Does anyone know if I would have lounge access at the following airports (I'm flying economy for all of these but might get upgraded to first class because of status):
IAH: United flight from IAH > LAX. I have United Premier Gold/Star Alliance Gold.
LAX: Delta flight from LAX > DFW. I have Flying Blue Gold/SkyTeam Elite Plus.
LAX: United flight from LAX > SFO. I have United Premier Gold/Star Alliance Gold.
LAX: Alaska flight from LAX > SFO. I have Alaska MVP Gold/Oneworld Sapphire.
Departure lounge access based on class of travel and/or status. With variations and exceptions.
Airlines can have own rules for their own status holders into their own lounges, over and above alliance rules. As AS??
In Oneworld OWS OWE gives lounge access. Except for flights in USA-Mexico-Canada where AA AS OWS OWE status does not give departure lounge access.
