According to the OneWorld website http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access, I should have access. On what terms would they deny me entry?
And most importantly... is the OneWorld TBIT lounge worth it, instead of the Terminal 4 lounge?
Also, I do not see if the thread was moved...

Why would they not let me enter the TBIT lounge if I am:

However, if weather/time doesn't work out. Then does anyone have any experience with entering the Oneworld lounge at TBIT with a business class boarding pass (and AA platinum level) for a long-haul AA flight out of T4? Everything indicates that I should have access, but does anyone have actual prior experience?

- Some lounges may get busy at peak times, and access to them may be restricted as a result.
Looking forward to comparing the TBIT oneworld FIrst lounge against the Flagship Lounge soon. Please post your feedback if you get a chance.
We sometimes announce a thread will be merged and not do so for a bit; this allows more visibility and more importantly a member is advised this will happen.

Other then the food and food service, I did not see anything that would make the Qantas FC lounge greater/nicer than the AA Flagship lounge.
Just my own opinions.

I don't think that's possible yet unless you're departing TBIT on Qantas, in which case there's an airside shuttle bus. In the future (when we refer to LAX and future, think of the meaning of the word "mañana" is Spanish - some day) there will be a way; they've announced that.

But T4 to TBIT is an easy change - it's not well signposted but once you come out of the baggage hall in T4 turn left and walk for about 250 yds. The next major building you come to is TBIT and you need to go up one level to get to departures
I do this route fairly regularly and it can take anything from 10 - 30 mins from leaving T4 to being airside in TBIT as the security can be a bit of a zoo depending on the number of people going through TBIT

So, like "mañana" but without the air of certainty that word implies; isn't the Californian usage Real Soon Now?
Thanks

anyone with recent experience of using the oneworld lounge at TBIT when departing from T4 as an emerald on AA to SFO.
The posts here would suggest that is has been possible, but they are from a few months ago.
Got a 4 hour layover and that seems to long to sit in the flagship lounge for, so fancy a walk around. And have never been to the oneworld lounge.
BTW just was looking for opening times and the oneworld website says the first lounge is a Qantas lounge and the oneworld lounge is the business lounge. Be fun trying to get in!

It's not worth the trouble going all the way to TBIT just for some food imo. But to each their own. Personally the less encounters i have with TSA the better, nevermind TBIT doesn't even have a precheck lane.
