No longer.
No Lounge access anymore at TBIT one world lounge for LAX-JFK or LAX-MIA no matter what class. In spite of showing them the posted one world rules. And in spite of them showing me a piece of paper that said “AA access for LAX-JFK vice versa only no access LAX -MIA vice versa” (all caps, no punctuation). Which clearly says Jfk yes, Mia no but they insisted both were prohibited by AA (“that’s what vice versa means”, which is when I gave up). This was with a supervisor present.
I wouldn’t of cared except my flight left from TBIt

Denied entry (to First Class Lounge) as OWE with F ticket on AA. New rule says only QF pax until 10pm. Too tired to argue and left. Business Class lounge also turned me away because "there's a lounge in T4 that AA uses".
Alright then.
Alright then.

I am not sure to understand.... the new access rules restrict AA pax to access the F lounge based on class of travel or that that aply also to Aa pax wanting to access the F class lounge based on Emerald (except aadvantage members) status? I am a BA GGL and flying AA out and through Lax next week....

Then as an AA EXP access should have been permitted.

Yeah I am aware of that. However, the QF lounge seems to put up their own rules recently. Whether it's not properly trained staff, or attempts to reduce the crowd or disputes with AA - who knows. Unfortunately it's not the first time this has happened. The 10pm excuse is new tho.

I was in J going LAX -> LHR on AA on Tuesday, and I (EXP) and a guest (no status) had no trouble accessing the Qantas First Lounge for five hours during the middle of the day.

I suppose that's possible. I was just there three weeks ago.......Friday evening about 8:30pm. The place was crazy busy, with every table in the dining room taken and a line had formed for available tables. I received access, with my AA boarding pass.

I was at the Qantas F lounge last week for the 193 and was given access as an EXP though the lounge was crowded
