Is there a list of airports at which Oneworld Priority fast-track security is available? I'm flying AY J on flights via YYZ, HEL, HKG, BKK, and LHR, with Sapphire on the outbound and possibly Emerald on the inbound.
Also, any Oneworld or AY lounges at those airports that are particularly good? Thanks.

HKG has no priority security. I like The Wing there.

Have never tried it but the signs on Bangkok priority immigration also states "seniors" which I think in this case is over 70
Happy wandering (if your are a senior)

Connecting Flight lounge access Royal Jordanian
Hi, I am flying tomorrow with Royal Jordanian from Heathrow to Bangkok Via Amman. I've won the bid to upgrade the AMM-BKK (longer) leg to Business/Crown Class, but the LHR-AMM is economy. Will I be able to access the lounge before my flight in Heathrow because the "main" leg of the flight is business?
Thanks
Thanks

Access on Arrival
Hi,
I've secured an upgrade to J on AA 125 (DFW-HKG) for my mom and myself, and once we arrive in HKG, we transfer onto a CX flight to SGN leaving about 4 hours later, on a separate ticket in Y.
I was wondering if we can use the CX lounge in HKG with our AA J boarding passes? (If it matters the AA flight lands the day after it departs)
I am only OW Ruby so I cannot use the CX J lounge otherwise.
Thanks!

Hi, just spotted the newbie thread, so will try to delete my other posting
I am on the RGN-BKK-CMB single Business Class flights on 20 October 2019 (as a first leg) and CMB-LHR 5 days later
My times were fairly good, RGN-BKK 16:30-18:15 (UL3301 or 8M331) connecting onto the BKK-CMB (UL407) 20:25-22:15
I have been emailed to say the UL3301 was 'cancelled' and that asked to confirm if the 07:40-09:25 (UL3307) would be okay? That's would mean a 11-hour lay-over in Bangkok
It would appear also that Myanmar Airlines International which is providing the RGN-BKK is continuing to operate the 16:30 flight, as being bookable on their own website.
What are my rights here? Could I argue for a change to the airline operating the RGN-BKK leg, such as the Bangkok Airways 15:20 departure (PG708) or am I pretty much stuck accepting what Sri Lankan says, the 07:40!!!
Cheers to the collective

Im traveling on QR J between HKG and DOH. I am a QR Platinum member (OWE). My friend is traveling from HKG to MEL at a similar time on CX Y. Would I be able to get him as a guest into the Pier or Wing First Class Lounge at HKG? Thanks!

Members of oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes with the equivalent of oneworld Emerald or Sapphire tier status can use lounges offered by oneworld airlines when departing on any flight marketed and operated by any oneworld member airline, regardless of cabin class being flown (exceptions are noted below).

Lounge Access Prior Evening w/ Flight Next Morning
Hi, just wanted to clarify a lounge access rule.
Does anyone know the policy if you were to want to access a oneworld lounge by virtue of oneworld status alone (i.e. not cabin class) the night prior to your flight the next morning? The oneworld page only defines the rules (i.e. next day's flight must be before 6 am), when accessing a lounge by virtue of cabin class flown.
Specifically, if I was flying on a oneworld flight at 9 am the following morning, and I am arriving at that airport 9 pm the night before, would I be able to use a QF lounge prior to its closure by virtue of oneworld status? I know that I've had luck with the MH lounge at KUL when doing something similar, but I suppose the difference is that the MH lounge is 24 hours and doesn't close.
Thanks in advance!
