Using United Lounge Pass on KE?
Sorry if this has been addressed before (or is a stupid question) but I'm going to be travelling to Narita airport on Korean Airlines (which I think is part of the Star Alliance Group - keyword think), so if I have free passes to the United Mileage/Star Alliance Lounge, can I use it there? As I'm typing this, I'm realizing this IS probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyways, lol.

Look at the T&C for your lounge pass. Does it require a same day UA or *A flight?
Note that at NRT, KE has a lounge and tends to use gates that are between the DL/SkyTeam area and the UA lounge and UA/*A gates. It's not real close but it's not bad and the UA lounge is MUCH better than the KE lounge at NRT, although IMO it's not as good as the DL lounges there.

Yes you can use it at the NRT UC. A same day boarding pass for flight on any airline is all that's required. Not a great lounge, but they have showers at least.

The way I am reading the OP's question is OP is traveling TO NRT on KE so this would probably involve lounges in ICN.
