Even though it's an old thread, I'm just posting a remark as I just had the same problem. It seems to be due to the a conflict in multiple input: irrespective of your elite status, the lounge finder will give you no access as you have an 'economy ticket' on the left. I put the ticket and airline back to empty and just status and then it works.

Hi, I'll be flying out of BCN and LAX on the same trip and I have one day united lounge passes thru my united CC and was wondering which one was better to use my united passes for. I havent been able to find any updated info about whether there is a lounge at BCN for united international flights. Thanks!

Assuming you are departing LAX to another destination? Then, yes.

You don't have a choice... one is in the schengen, the other in the non-schengen area.

But if you want you can spend time in the one in the Schengen area before going through passport control into the non-Schengen area. Not that it matters, because both lounges are very similar.

BCN is showing on the Fast Track list on LH.com, I presume thats still valid? This thread has mentions of no such service in the past.

Can I take a guest?

I just entered fast track on UA today it worked fantastically, If your star gold and above your golden. The entrance is to the far left of the regular security it's a very small entrance and you have to follow the signs to fast track. Thanks and safe travels… Oh and I have no idea about a guest unless they have star gold on their boarding pass. If not tell them you will meet them in the lounge

No Air Canada access to Joan Miro lounge at BCN

Just discovered that even though

Barcelona Airport - Star Alliance shows Air Canada on the Joan Miro list, they don’t actually let Air Canada *G’s in. (They were apologetic though.)

Any experiences with the shower facilities in the non-Schengen lounge? I'll be out all day and would love to grab a shower before boarding my flight. Flying Turkish business.
