Economy: Platinum Lounge (North or South)
Quick follow up (Note this would be Business Class)...
  • When looking to book through QR direct, it says there is a charge for seat assignments for "Business Lite" and "Business Classic". When booking through AA (w/ the QR flight number), does the flight correspond to one of these 2? Or would it correspond to "Business Comfort" or "Business Elite", which seem to give free seat selection? Or, for EXP, does this not matter when it comes to seat selection ability?
  • For the lounge access, I also see Lounge access is not included for "Business Lite"...so, similarly, does the purchase through AA correspond to one of the higher levels? Or would my EXP status make it irrelevant to allow me and one guest into Al Mourjan?
Thanks!
