Yes, Marina is the person to talk to.
She organised Ansett Golden Wing membership for me last year and was very helpful when Ansett made a mess of my membership.
Her full name is Marina Paolini, and she works at travel.com's Parramatta office.

Since they are OneWorld partners, I can't see how or why AA would refuse admittance. I can understand how they would require a same-day AA journey. Perhaps one should carry around a copy of the "reciprocity rules" to show AA? Are there such rules?
Your input would be most appreciated as I contemplate whether to buy a membership.

I am not sure if you can gain access to the Admirals club unless you are on a connecting international flight. I was in LAX last week, flying domestic first on AA. I am a top tier status with AA as well as QF but was denied access as I did not have Admirals Club membership. !! [quote deleted in part]</font>

The misunderstandings to do with international flights is to do with access to lounges using a OW Sapphire/Emerald card. Since AA do not allow their DisAAdvantaged members to use lounges by virtue of status when travelling domestically, some lounge agents seem to think that this should apply to all OW members . I never had any hassles getting AA lounge access when using a QF Club card.

I have used my Qantas Card twice to enter the AC while traveling domestically on AA. No problems at all and received 1 drink chit w/a second one upon request one time and the second time had to ask but received one drink chit.
A Qantas Club card trumps a no-drink-receiving Admiral's Club card AAny day!

See also "Disappointed: Admirals Club - don't know the rules" (re: admittance based on OW status, not QF Club membership, but illustrating capriciousness of some Admirals Club receptionists)

I have a Qantas club membership and use is in the AC on all domestic US flights. I am always welcomed and never have had a problem. As far as drink coupons go just ask and you will receive. I have not yet used it in a Qantas club lounge but look forward to doing so soon.
