oneworld lounge access rules are found here: http://www.oneworld.com/ffp/lounge-access

Since you're flying in Business on a oneworld carrier, you'll have access to the business class lounges. (You can search for HKG in the link I posted above.)



We'll also merge this with our Lounge Access help desk thread. Thanks. /Moderator

Qantas lounge isn't shabby, either.

I think you'll find HKG may be the riches lounge environment in this instance. Your challenge may be having sufficient time to check several of them out.

I suggest the OP start off with a glass of champagne and light noodle soup at the Wing, then move over to Qantas for char siu at the bar or plated meals at the communal table, and then wrap up with desserts at the bakery in the Bridge. And then head back to the Wing for an espresso, and then do it all over again.

Yes, one guest, iirc.

With respect to mapotofu's question, #138 departs 13:40. The Qantas Lounge opens at 15:00(roped off at escalator with signage). As mentioned, the 4 CX lounges are there for your pleasure.

Lounge access at JFK T8?

Flying on an AA award ticket, first leg BA 1st class LHR to JFK. We have around 5 hours at JFK before flying American Airlines 1st class to Miami. Will we have lounge access in T8 at JFK ?

Yes, lounge access is determined by the class of travel of the international leg. You should have access to both Admirals Clubs and the Flagship Lounge (due to your inbound being in First).

I'm flying AKL-NAN-LAX-AUS, with AKL-NAN-LAX on Fiji business and LAX-AUS on AA first. Since Fiji is a non-One World partner and LAX-AUS isn't transcon, am I right in thinking I won't have any access at LAX?

Bula. That's correct. But you will have access to the lounge FJ uses in AKL iirc the QANTAS Club, and the Tabua (pronounce Tom-BUU-uh) lounge at NAN.

Or, if it's a longer layover with evening departure, take a taxi into Nadi (NAHN-dee) and have a dinner at Chef's, the Restaurant. Jack's on the Main Street (which owns Chef's) is the place for Fijian souvenirs.

Yes, I was grateful for my "freebee".
[The AMEX SKYGUIDE lounge re-imbursement was my backup option.]

I've got a 6-hour layover in IAD in March - we're flying business class and my wife's an AA Exec Plat, but we're flying in with US Airways for the domestic leg and then departing on Turkish for our international flight. Does anybody know if we'd have access to the BA Lounge? Not sure if US Airways counts as a oneworld alliance member or not...
