My wife and I are travelling to Fiji and onwards to Sydney Australia next month on Air Pacific. The tickets are freebies (either N or O booking class). As far as I know, we can't earn miles on those flights but I wonder if we can still get lounge access as I have Executive Platinum with AAdvantage (top level on OneWorld afaik).

So - can people with status flying on free economy class tickets still gain access to the business class lounge where available?
