As of yesterday, when I passed through ICN on KE, there were still OZ flights operating out of T1, so I guess they weren't able to move all operations over at once as expected.

After Asiana Lounge East is shut down and Asiana Lounge Central is repurposed, regular *G passenger can access Star Alliance Lounge, formerly the Asiana Lounge West.

Speaking of *G passenger lounge access, is it risky as a *G (with status through an airline other than Asiana) to book future OZ flights? I saw that they aren't allowing award bookings after Dec 1, but it isn't clear to me if that means *G benefits will certainly be honored before Dec 1. It appears that currently *G passengers have access to KE lounges in T1? I am looking at an economy flight at the end of September that would have a long layover at ICN. The price is very good, but it will obviously be less appealing if *G benefits turn out to have ended.

I am eyeing a lat November flight that I hope to be able to be credited to *A. Hopefully flights concluding before December 1, 2026 will still earn miles on *A.

Another data point: if you search on SQ Krisflyer for redemption flights between SIN and ICN, OZ options cease on 1 December exactly. Maybe other *A programmes will show similar.

When flying Asiana I would always access the SIN lounge (if open) which is far superior to the Asiana lounges in terminal 1. Which lounge in terminal 2 is considered the best lounge available to OZ/KE business class passengers?
