Does anybody have a link to the updated list of airline lounges available worldwide. Also, do you get access regardless of which airline you travel or how exactly does it work? Thanks.
So long as the lounge is in the departure pier that you are leaving in, it matters not the airline. A limited # of lounges require that you paid for your ticket with a DC, but no one has ever checked. I have never visited with a guest so I don't know how strictly they enforce charging for the guest. They simply take your card info down when you enter. Your annual statement from DC will remind you of the opulent benefits you received for lounge use, and when you call to cancel your card, they will also remind you of all the lounge use you received and why would you want to cancel?
I have visited a few of them and they are fine, but nothing extra special.

And some lounges, such as the one at HKG, require a locally-issued card. At least at this one, they definately do check to make sure you have a local card. If I remember correctly, they don't have their own lounge at HKG, but use United's.<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by erik123:

Grazie to all for the heads up.

The lounge at the NRT international terminal is a small room several floors below the ticket counter level. All one needs to do is show a DC card. It is outside security, so be sure to allow adequate time to make it to the gate.

I have not yet used one of the DC-accessible lounges but will be at LHR in September. Looking at the DC lounge site, I noticed the following, "Passengers transferring between flights may access the lounge for a maximum of 3-hours prior to their flight departure." Does this mean that if your flight originates in LHR and you're not transferring between flights, you don't get access to the lounge??
Thanks for the info, gwn.
Thanks for the info, gwn.
It means (ok, I could be wrong, but I am probably right) that (1) arriving pax can't use it (nor can they use any airside LHR lounge), (2) transferring and departing pax can, but they don't want you napping there for more than 3 hours, eating up all their potato crisps and nuts and drinking all the warm beer.

The snacks are not bad at all there, as DC lounges go. Drink selection is also quite nice. In December & January they did ask to see my ticket. <font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Originally posted by Eastbay1K:
