No problems using OW lounges in BKK. The CX staff were very nice in the F lounge.

The CX staff in HKG was equally accomodating. No problems at all.

The F lounge in LGW was very accomodating when I met two friends prior to a flight to TFS - one QP member and the other SG.

Only hiccup I have had is in LAX. TBIT is a rabbit warren of lounges. I was told to visit the QP on level 4. I went to the 5th floor QP and was told the F club was only for F pax - status irrelevant. From there I was told that J pax have their own lounge around the corner from the F lounge. So around the corner I go. Enroute I pass the CX F lounge and then the CX J lounge. When I enter the QF J lounge, I ask the lady at the desk what the deal is and she was as confused as I am.

I asked her if I should go to the 4th floor and she said no, it was the QP and full and I was better off where I was. I then enquired if maybe the CX F lounge would be better (in terms of getting a seat in it) and she told me that they wouldn't take me in either J or F. Again status was irrelevant.

She then went on to explain that she could not wait until the airlines sorted the lounge "issue" out.

Anyone had a similar experience?
