Lounge access in the US
Hi folks,
just became FB Gold so I have a question about lounge access in the US as there seems to be conflicting information on the AF/KL home pages:
As a European traveller, to which lounges, if any, will I have access when travelling in the US domestically? On the KL homepage it says sometimes "when travelling on a Skyteam international flight on the same day" and sometimes "when travelling on a Skyteam flight on the same day" - and for NW it says addionally "when travelling on a NW domestic flight". So what's the rule? No access to lounges when travelling domestically unless on NW?
Thanks,
haggis

Beware- not all US employees seem to understand this- i had a horrible time attempting to use the Crown Room Club (Delta) at SFO when arriving at SFO on Air France and transferring to Alaska. Actually- it was an awful experience.

it works pretty well. You always have access to NW lounges when you are on a NW flight (domestic or international), or to any lounge when on your day of the international segement. However, I would always use the lounge of the operating carrier, so if you fly on DL international, using a NW lounge will be difficult.
