Lounge Access VYR
Pardon me for my ignorance but I don't fly international often so I'm still confused on the lounge access policy for *Gold members.
Based on this routing:
YVR-SFO-IAH-CLT
.......What lounges can I access? I'm pretty sure I can access the Maple Leaf lounge at YVR, but what about SFO and IAH?
Since those connections are in conjunction with an international flight (YVR-SFO) does that mean I can access the Red Carpet Club in SFO and the President's Club in IAH? I really hope so because I have 2.5 hours in SFO.

YVR-SFO isn't considered an international flight for lounge access. Your profile says you're DM Silver (i.e. *S). Is that correct? Do you have US lounge membership? If not, then you're hosed. No lounge access on your trip at all.

Actually I'm *Gold, just forgot to update my profile. I guess it doesn't matter though since you stated YVR-SFO isn't considered international.

Do yo have to be traveling on AC or just any Star Alliance member. I'm flying UA metal on a CO ticket from YVR-SFO and CO for the SFO-IAH and IAH-CLT legs.
