1. SFO: United flight from SFO > LAX. I assume that I can access the Maple Leaf Lounge in T2?
2. LAX: United flight from LAX > SJD. I assume that I can access the United Club lounge in T7 because a flight to Mexico should be considered international?
3. LAX: United flight from LAX > SFO. The Maple Leaf Lounge is temporarily closed. Air Canada's website says: "In the meantime, Super Elite, Elite 75K, Elite 50K, Star Alliance Gold, and Air Canada Business Class passengers are invited to use the United Airlines Lounge in Terminal 7, near gate 71A. Walking time is approximately 10 minutes." Does this mean that, while the Maple Leaf Lounge is closed, I can use the United Club in T7 as an exception to the general rule that United Premier Gold members flying domestic and economy cannot access domestic United Club lounges?
4. HKG: HKG > LAX. For the Sapphire Lounge, I understand that I get to bring 2 guests for having a Chase Sapphire Reserve credit card and another 2 guests if I have Priority Pass. Do those two stack so that I can bring 4 guests?
1. Yes
2. Yes
3. No, it is still a United Club so UA rules apply even though AC is sending their passengers there.
4. No, you'll generally get 2 unless someone else has priority pass and can use their one yearly visit. (With the caveat being you could always ask, but expect to get a no)
