Lounge access if flying Lufthansa codeshare?
We will be flying RDU to FRA to VIE in business class on Lufthansa metal but booked via United. Will we be able to use the United lounge in RDU prior to our flight? I know we will be able to use Lufthansa lounge in FRA, but likely will get to airport a little earlier if we get access in Raleigh. Thanks.

Do you have united/star alliance status?
Don't believe there's a RDU-FRA nonstop flight, so you're connecting somewhere in CONUSA first, the trans-atlantic business class leg is operated by LH? If LH, then no access at RDU unless you have status (you have access to UC/Polaris at the airport where the transatlantic business class LH flight departs)
