Lounge access C connecting to Y

I like to know if i get RCC (or Star Alliance) lounge access when my flight is in C long distance and i connect in LHR for a Lufthansa Y flught.
for example: LAX-LHR United C, LHR-FRA Lufthansa Y
Can i use the RCC in LHR ?
Its important for me because the connecting time in Heathrow is 5 hours.
Thank you

It says on the left you belong to Miles + More, yet you think you'll find a UA RCC in your outbound Lefthansa termianl? No, you'll find Lufthansa (or other non-UA Star Alliance) lounges.

Your own Miles + More policy will apply, depending in turn on your status level. (It's unclear why you're asking this in MilesBuzz as opposed to the Lufthansa Miles+More forum.)

Are you on a full-fare business ticket? LHR does have an arrivals lounge that you would be entitled to use with the Full-Fare Business ticket.

Not at the LH lounge. Access is based on the departing flight, and any status you have. That said, if you post your date & time it might be that an FTer can help guest you into a lounge.

No. You are not departing LHR in business class.

Again, there is no RCC departure lounge at LHR when you're flying on to Europe! (If there is an RCC, it's only at the gates to the US.) There's some other Star Alliance lounge, but it's definitely not called an RCC!

The only lounge you might possibly qualify for is if the airline you're arriving on in business class on has an arrivals lounge, and your business class upgrade ticket qualifies you for that. In that case, you'd have to leave the lounge plenty of time ahead of your connection, because this lounge would landside at your arrival terminal, so it's after you left the lounge that you'd have to change terminals, go through security, etc.
