I am a recent AC silver flying JFK-DUB-CWL on separate tickets. DUB-CWL is with Flybe.
I'm sure I get lounge access in JFK but will I get anything in T1 for the short leg to Cardiff? I'll have a few hours to kill and free coffee and maybe a shower would be really great, but I am not holding my breath

SFO United Club access
For what it's worth, I have a chase united explorer card which gives me two united club passes. I was able to use one of my passes today along with my coach EI ticket to access the United Club on the International Terminal G side of SFO. There isn't a priority pass lounge on this side, so if you're flying Aer Lingus out of SFO this is your only choice. I happen to ask about what will happen after November 2019, and they said they're not clear whether or not United will consider Aer Lingus a 'partner' (even though they do today and codeshare together) since Aer Lingus isn't part of Star Alliance.

Thanks, I am not in Business so I'll suffer in T1 without the lounge 
My physical silver card has not arrived yet and I leave tomorrow. Does the lounge at JFK or Dublin actually require you to show the physical card for access, or does the virtual card in the Aer Lingus app suffice? I know the website says you must present the physical card but does it actually matter? I hit Silver on Nov 18 and the card has not come...doesn't seem right that I don't get to access the lounge because they take more than 3 weeks to mail me a piece of plastic

Dropped back from Platinum to Silver a month ago. Still no new card despite an email on the day welcoming me to the new tier.. Has anyone accessed LGW lounge with just the phone app? Presume it should be fine.

i am flying IAD-DUB-CDG with a long layover at DUB (13 hours) during which i plan to leave the airport and sightsee in Dublin for a few hours. i am flying IAD-DUB in J, and DUB-CDG in economy as it is a one-class plane. i presume i will have arrivals lounge access upon arriving in DUB. am i correct that there are showers but no sleeping facilities? second, when i return to the airport for DUB-CDG, will i be able to access any lounge because my first leg was in J?

Wondering if anyone can help?
Considering booking a BA Long Haul flight in First with a connection from and to BHD using Aer Lingus ,all one BA ticket.
Will I have Aer Lingus Lounge Access in BHD and on return to London?
I know that I should be able to use the Arrivals Lounge in Terminal 5 on return before transferring to Terminal 2
I'm BA Silver if that makes any difference.
Thanks.

For LHR there is a chance it might work on the basis of connection from a BA F class
Belfast unlikely
BA Silver is only good for LHR-DUB/SNN/ORK and return
