Edited the wiki to reflect the fact that the Finnair Premium Lounge is closed for refurbishment until early 2019 (February according to the person I talked to at the biz lounge a few days ago).

I thought JAL passengers with OWE status can use F lounge.

Hello serfty!
Could you please update the JL HND lounge to reflect it will be closed from 29 Oct to late Mar 2020? I don't have enough posts to edit the wiki
Can't links either but the notice is at www.jal.co.jp <slash> en/info/2019/inter/191004/index.html
The replacement "OWE lounge" at HND will be the Sakura Skyview, but J CoS pax are also permitted ... and it doesn't have showers

Updated SFO BA lounge posting.
serfty: Thank you but why add the Flagship lounges? They're business class lounges at this point and this thread is about first class ones.

Yes, with the newer Flagship iterations, oneworld sapphire and business PAX can get access, but that does not stop them being "First Class" facilities - they are certainly more "First class" than BA's North American locations also in that list.
(I personally prefer to wait for my flight at the LAX F/L rather than Qantas First at TBIT.)

HND F lounge is closed entirely from Oct 29 until end of March due to renovations (not just restricted to JL pax)
OWEs are redirected to Sakura Skyview, also accessible to J/F pax, which does not have showers. If you want a shower you'll need to head to the Sakura lounge, which is accessible by OWS, Y+ and Flex Y pax. (expect a long wait)

Denied entry BA F lounge at ORD
Hi,
I'm a OWE and was flying QR in J out of ORD T5. Tried to access the ORD F lounge and was told I wasn't allowed as "QR has their own lounge." I politely noted that OWEs were allowed access. The lounge dragon was firm in her denials. I showed her the OW lounge finder app showing OWEs being allowed access as well as the sign outside noting OWEs have access. And no, the lounge was not anywhere near capacity, it looked mostly empty. Now the BA F lounge in ORD is nothing to write home about but it is the principle. Does anyone know an effective method to complain? I ended up just going to AF lounge (the lounge for QR at ORD. I just think BA needs to follow OW rules.

They are relatively small and can fill up quickly with BA passengers.
