*G Lounge Access when flying Asiana domestic operated by Air Busan.
I have a trip where I plan to fly domestically PUS-CJU-PUS on OZ. And possibly PUS-GMP as well.
- The flights are operated by BX (Air Busan) and OZ doesn’t actually operate any flights on those routes.
- The Air Busan website doesn’t sell the route at all, which suggests that OZ has all the seats ... perhaps it is like a franchise operation.
Would anyone know if I can access the Asiana lounge at PUS and CJU for the above flights? I am a Star Alliance Gold member on NZ.
Thanks.

If this is all part of a vacation I would suggest visiting Gyeongju for a day or 2 then flying Ulsan - GMP on OZ if *A earning is a must. Gyeongju is well worth a visit.

As long as your BP says OZ, then you should be able to access the lounge in Busan. I had no issues at all. It's a small lounge with few drinks and snacks that's all. I don't think they have any alcoholic drinks.

Interesting question - this did not occur to me at all when I flew with Air Busan PUS-GMP last year. Admittedly this was booked on their own website, so would not have been an option in any case. Definitely a great deal in terms of price (KRW46k).
As for CJU-PUS, booked Jeju Air for that route. Was unable to make the booking on their own website, so used Expedia instead (seems to work well for domestic flights in Korea).
