"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..."
(full text at: http://www.oneworld.com/ow/ffp/loung...-access-policy)
That's not to say that no one has ever been allowed to access a OW lounge w/o meeting the criteria, but of course that would be an exception (aka "luck") and not the policy.

American Airlines, which has served Frankfurt for more than 25 years, today announces it will relocate its operations to Terminal 2 at Frankfurt International Airport (FRA) on April 1, 2011.
The move - from its current location in Terminal 1 - allows American to join its oneworld® partners that are already co-located in Terminal 2 and will result in Japan Airlines (JAL) inviting American Admirals Club members, as well as American Business Class customers and oneworld Emerald and Sapphire customers, to enjoy the JAL Frankfurt lounge.

Confirmed in person today that one can enter the JAL lounge as an AC member.
The lounge is ok, although it could use a new carpet (lots of stains). Quiet since cell phones are not allowed.
Back for the second time today. AA71 delayed 2 hours and counting.

You were entitled to entry if you had arrived on a qualifying AA flight, iirc, and quite lucky if not.

AA J DFW-FRA 7h layover FRA: Sakura Lng?
Flying J class DFW-FRA w/ 7 hrs layover at FRA before onward flite in T1 on Condor Air. Upon FRA arrival in T2, can I easily access JAL Sakura Lounge in T2 prior to transferring from T2 to T1 for onward Condor flight? In other words, can I use Sakura as an Arrivals Lounge??? (I am Admirals Club member and understand that Sakura Lounge accepts Admiral Club members.)

As with the last thread you started on the topic, it has been merged with the current thread discussing FRA oneworld lounges. Please take a look at the original post within this thread, which has a mini-wiki of info about the oneworld FRA lounge options. Thanks for your cooperation. /Moderator

Still am not clear on this ...
Is the JAL lounge (or some other) possible to use an arrival lounge for a shower and coffee?
I still can't tell from the responses above if this is possible. So, I'll try to clarify my question:
If I'm a regular AA Business Class passenger (not an AC member), and FRA is my final destination, can I access the Sakura Lounge? And, upon arrival, is it convenient to access (e.g. would getting through passport control, baggage claim and customs be relatively simple after going to the Lounge?)
Many thanks.

I am now an Admiral's Club member. I understand from the prior posts that I am technically allowed to access the lounge. New questions then emerge:
As a regular AC member, am I permitted to bring a guest?
Would it be convenient to visit the lounge after arriving on AA70, getting a shower before proceeding to baggage claim and on to the train station? Our would this be an out-of-the-way hassle?
Many thanks.
