Purchased a one world RTW business ticket that has stops in NRT, HKG, DOH. JAL for NRT SIN, QR for HKG DOH OSL.

I think that I can use JL Sakura, and Cathy The Pier Business in HKG. Not sure what to do in DOH for 3 hour layover?

What lounges do you recommend? Also there seems to be wording about Business Lite exclusions does booking the one world RTW ever use Business lite fares?

Thank you!

Look here OW site-->https://www.oneworld.com/airport-lounges
My understanding is OW DONE* are not [QR] "business lite" fares
QR DOH lounges are complicated. AFF Feb 2025 --- >Ultimate Guide to the Qatar Airways Lounges in Doha

No problems with lounge access on DONE*, they are semi-flexible fares so you can into the Qatar lounges no problem.

So as Mwenenzi says, you just look at the oneworld site to see the options. With your ticket you could visit any (and all) oneworld business lounges in the airport if time allowed (and you're able to get between terminals, and there isn't a domestic/international split). If this is a special occasion and you rarely come to these airports, then you are welcome to lounge hop (e.g. in Doha go to both the Orchard/Gate C lounge, and the biggest one by Gate A/B. Even in Hong Kong you would have access to, multiple Cathay business class lounges along with the Qantas lounge if you wished. NRT will give you the JAL and Cathay lounges too.

Broadly, try to visit the "Home" lounge first, as that will be the best, i.e. where that airport has a locally based airline, so HKG == Cathay, NRT == JAL, DOH == QR (though don't think there is a non-QR operated lounge), then if you get bored try some others to compare. Three hours in DOH can fly by as the lounge has lots of different areas and things to try (e.g. buffet dinner, al-la-carte orders, shower, rest area, light nibbles area), without needing to leave.

Enjoy your trip!

If your fare class is D, you should have access to business class lounges. In HKG, as up-post said, CX home port lounges will be your first priority (Pier, Wing, Bridge); in SIN, I usually used QF F (I'm OW Emerald); 3 hours in DOH will go fast by just staying in Al Mourjan. In OSL, I am aware of only OSL Lounge when flying OW partners.

Just remember that the OSL lounge is in the Schengen area. If you go through passport control, you will not have lounge access.
The line for passport control can be long and it is not a speedy experience but YMMV.

Good point. I think that we ran into that last year in HEL.

This time our Finnair flight is OSL to HEL which should all be Schengen then HEL to DFW (only one hour connection so no lounge this time). We definitely want to do the OSL lounge for breakfast because we are staying at an airport hotel for the night with no breakfast included.

That's too bad.. which hotel are you staying at ? I like the Radisson Hotel Conf Center and their breakfast buffet is very comprehensive with many choices.

Radisson Red. It is a convenient walk. We don't eat a big breakfast so the OSL Lounge was good enough last time we were in OSL. Plus since we get to the airport early it gives us something to do for those 2.5 hours.
The Finnair Lounge in HEL was very nice once we found the right one last trip. This time just will go to the gate. We will just have to enjoy the food on the planes.

Thanks for all the advice. We did enjoy the lounges on our last RTW. JL Sakura was very nice, we spent a bit of time in the massage chairs. Any other lounges feature those? In HKG, Cathy Pacific's Pier Business Lounge was good for a shower (shower room is full restroom) and nap.

In DOH, visited Al Mourjan for shower which had quite a line and has seperate restrooms a distance away. Line for the waiter service food.

All three very nice to visit between flights.

So now I need advice for ICN, MNL, KUL and OSL again Also will go thru DOH twice, one short visit and one 5 hour visit. ICN has the oneworld lounge, does it get croweded? Will be leaving MNL on Malaysia Air so Marhaba would be an option but they have a JL and CP lounge as well?? Then KUL has the Malaysia Air and a Qatar lounge?

Regarding OSL, we will arrive on a business class QR ticket but depart on a AA econ award ticket two hours later. Would we have OSL Lounge access? Not sure it really matters for such a short visit but the QR might be a bit early allowing more time.

Again thanks for the help.

The easy one: OSL: Arriving on QR business and connecting to AA economy (2 hours is a bit short, but hey ho) - yes you can use your inbound boarding pass just save it as the lack of ticket linking would mean you need this (there isn't a need to be on the same ticket to get "same day access". Though conceptually after all this business class flying I am surprised you don't have status now? I've no idea on OSL lounges though, that's far from home.

ICN - there is only one oneworld lounge, opposite the Korean Air one. It isn't anything to write home about, but does have a good view of the planes, and if you like hard liquors that will work out well. Food is poor and sparkling wine was from memory from somewhere random and not very nice
MNL - I've not been for a long time, I suspect the CX one is the only nice one, but is going to start to feel a bit "samey" as other outstation lounges (Cathay is consistent, the only variance is the quality of the champagne/sparkling wine, plus minor local food specialities to add to noodles and dim sum). Depending on the time of day you're coming thru there is JAL too (mornings), I've never been tempted to try
KUL - Well, its really just the Malaysian airport lounges. A shame you aren't oneworld Emerald by now, as the first class lounge is excellent with table dining. Don't waste time going back to the domestic terminal, it really isn't worth it - the lounge is much more basic, plus immigration + security, not a good plan.

In both cases above, with MNL and KUL the recommendation is to skip the contract lounges used by MH/QR respectively as they are only very rarely anywhere near as good as a proper airline lounge (that is run less like a contract centre). You could pop by at the end to see what you didn't miss out. Enjoy anyway!

The lounge in OSL is before passport control so one needs to be plan some extra time for queuing if your passport cannot be used at the auto machines.
It is a 3rd party lounge, so not sure if they follow rules as per oneworld (C inbound + Y "connecting" outbound), they might only care for your departing booked class but probably worth a try to ask.

Assuming OP's AA flight is to NA then it's not a short haul connecting from long haul that is required to give lounge access at OSL...

Thanks for all the help. I should have given more details for OSL. The QR business class ticket is ATH DOH OSL then 2hrs later AA award ticket on AY - OSL HEL DFW , one of us in business and one in econ (AY only releases one business award ticket to AA). The econ ticket should get the job done since we will be home and can recover from no sleep/food. US passports, so I do think we will have to do passport control in OSL and again in HEL which may take up all our time unless the flight is early. Hopefully the food on the planes will be good enough so missing a lounge will not matter; just like a quiet spot if in the airport for long. Just trying to set expectations if whether it would even be worth trying to get in the OSL Lounge.

Did look at the stops in DOH closer, first stop is for 8 hours and 2nd is for 5. On the 8 hour stop probably, we will probably exercise and shower.

All fun things to consider. Thank You.

I had no idea there was a JL lounge in MNL, but it seems to be very limited hours. I think last time I was leaving there on MH was later in the day, so we used the PAGGS lounge on Priority Pass, but I believe they stopped accepting it and now like you mentioned only the very lackluster Marhaba. CX lounge is in Terminal 3 (where the 'good airlines' arrive and depart from). I have no idea why JL and MH are still in T1, but you can't change terminals airside and can't access T3 without a departing flight from there (QR, CX, WY, etc.)

There's no QR lounge in KUL, their outstation lounges are LHR, BKK, and SIN. But the MH lounge in KUL is quite nice, just be aware that that airport still uses the archaic security at the gate, so you can't have any liquids over 100ml (speaking of I need to buy 5 100 ml bottles for that exact purpose to pour my drink into before going to the gate). The only liquids allowed are sealed duty free and they don't sell stuff like water or cola.

MNL CX lounge is in T3. MH and JL use T1, so the OP doesn't have that option. Plus the MNL CX lounge is one of the worst CX lounges in the system, it's not worth making any extra effort for.

In KUL I think you're referring to the lounge in the regional terminal, not domestic. So there's no immigration, and KUL has security at the gate. But it's certainly not worth taking the train across (yay it's finally open again) to visit, the one in the satellite terminal is the better one. But even if they did go landside for whatever reason, it's only immigration, no security to get back into the terminal. I'm e-gate eligible in Malaysia, so it takes me only seconds to clear in and out, but even for people needing to use the normal manned immigration counters, I've never seen a long queue, especially on exit since most people are e-gate eligible.

That's disapointing to hear about the ICN lounge, I've been wanting to try it, but the last 2 times I departed there was on EY, so was directed to the OZ lounge which is pretty ordinary to put it nicely. Sounds similar.
