"international" lounge access
Hi - Gold member here. Planning on booking a UK-ORL-MAD AF flight with a bit of stopover. Wanted to make sure i'd get comp lounge access. I ask b/c "inter-European" gets a different category when it comes to earning miles so I wasn't sure if an inter-EU flight also wasn't counted as international for lounge access.
thanks
thanks

All of your flights are between separate sovereign states - hence your flights are all international.
You will have lounge access, dependent on having a business class ticket and/or the required Skyteam status. Your profile suggest you don't have the latter.
There are no lounges in LCY, no matter what airline you are flying.

'cause if he means ORY, I think lounge access is the least of the worries.

Thanks for the replies. and sorry for the typos. Yes I'm a flying blue gold member - got that via a match earlier this year.
And cheers on the sovereign states thing - Flying blue's nomenclature uses "international" separately from "european" sometimes: http://www.flyingblue.com/earn-miles...ir-france.html. So I thought it was sensible to see if that distinction applied to lounge access too.
