It should not be a problem. But, it sometimes is. If you want to be certain, bring the card.
If you can't bring the card and don't have your status through a carrier which provides a digital replica, ask the carrier to email a PDF or fax you a letter or whatever it generally supplies as proof. They all have something as a backup.

Many thanks

I am QF platinum (OW emerald) but want to credit my flight to BA Blue (to build BA status and Avios). Will I be allowed to use OW first lounges on production of my QF Card and, if so, is there somewhere in the rules this is written so I can show the lounge staff incase they say no.
Many thanks

Entering the JFK Admirals Club with my bp with my AAdvantage number plus my Airberlin Sapphire card works every time.

If they change the FFP in the booking at the lounge, have the gate agents change it back before boarding.
In theory, bookings can hold up to 4 different programs, with each used for a different thing, but many agents don't know how to do this.

Last year I didn't have an issue at BA, IB or QF lounges without my card as a OW Sapphire flying in Y.

Hi
I have Sapphire status and am doing quite a few flights around the world. Can I enter a Oneworld lounge without the physical card or do most airlines need to see the card? Is it okay to put my frequent flyer number in the ticket and show my status on my phone?
Thanks for your help
