Asia Business Trip - Lounge Access and Suggestions
I did some searching but I figured it may be best to ask for some updated advice. My wife is travelling from MSP-LAX-CAN-PEN, PEN-SZB, and then KUL-ICN-DTW-MSP. The three trips below are the three main "segments" as they're separated a couple days a part. LAX-CAN-PEN is CZ, PEN-SZB is on Malaysian Air, while the rest are all on DL. They are all business class fares.
What options does she have for lounges? She has a decent layover (about 3-4 hours each) in LAX and CAN on the way down and ICN on the way back. Does she get access to lounges in LAX, CAN, KUL (on the way out) and ICN? If so, which ones? I'm assuming KAL in ICN, but what about LAX, CAN and KUL?
Any ideas/recommendations are welcome and appreciated!

It’ll also be a great resource for your wife to have on hand in case she’s wondering where each lounge is located or trying to decide between two lounges that are both accessible.

LAX - Can use whatever lounge CZ sends to (which I believe is the KE lounge, which is awful) or the Skyclubs in T2 (best) or T3 (not great but worlds better then the KE lounge)
CAN - CZ has really good lounges, nothing like the MU lounges in PVG
PEN - whatever lounge MH contracts with
KUL - whatever lounge KE contracts with. Note she is flying KE even though may have a DL flight number. DL doesn't fly it's own metal to KUL
ICN - KE lounges. Despite this being their home, they're not much better than it's LAX lounge
DTW - Skyclubs
MSP - Skyclubs
