Hi, I have a question about lounge access. I am well familiar with the OW rules about it, however, what does OW define as an itinerary? The rules state:
Eligibility
In all cases, lounge access eligibility is based on:
Departing carrier - you must be flying on your next onward segment, on the same day, on a flight marketed and operated by a oneworld member airline AND
Frequent flyer tier status - you must also hold a frequent flyer card equivalent to oneworld Emerald or Sapphire status, OR
Class of travel - you must produce a First or Business Class boarding pass for the journey's international segment on the same day.
and then theres our crappy AA exception clause:
Exceptions:
1. American Airlines AAdvantage® Program: American Airlines AAdvantage® Program members, regardless of their tier status, may not use lounges when travelling on solely North American itineraries (defined as within or between the USA, Canada, Mexico [except Mexico City], the Bahamas, Bermuda and the Caribbean). In these cases, access rules are governed by American Airlines' own rules (ie paid lounge-access membership).
My itinerary is LHR-LAX on one ticket. Wait of 6 hours and then LAX-YYZ on another ticket. Economy on the LHR-LAX flight. Does this get me in the door of the Admirals Club in LAX? Thanks.
