Canada to USA is considered an international itinerary for the purpose of RCC access (but not drink chits).

I do understand that. The thing I wasn't sure about was if being on an inbound from Canada in F would grant me access (while still being in Y on the domestic cnx).

pardon my laziness but do i get access to RCC as a *G (1K) at IAD on KWI-IAD-ORD? i
i think UA doesn't allow access on domestic connection on the inbound but needs clarification. CO, if i'm correct, allows admission into a PC in similar situation. flying multiple airlines on regular basis, i can't keep the rules straight at times.

since i'm not a rcc member and only use it when sponsored or flying internationally.....
did the karma thing today and upgraded a young lady on ua918 iad-lhr who was off to see her husband stationed in england.
told her she had rcc access and if she wouldn't mind guesting me in-i'm flying ua947 iad-lax and then home to sfo.
iad rcc d-8
agent said yes, she has access but because she is not premier exec or higher, she cannot guest anyone.
like i said, i'm not a rcc member and only use it when sponsored or flying internationally and was just curious if that is in fact the case

Yes you get access at any *A connecting points on the return journey.
However no drink chits. That is only at the "transoceanic gateway", the station where you're about to embark on the transoceanic leg. Upon return to SFO you've already flown the transoceanic leg. You'll get in, but no drinks for you.

In any case, I'm upset because my mom is nearing 60 and she's been a naturally frail woman since I was born, so not being allowed into the lounge made her return trip feel that much worse. She just doesn't do well when flying, hence upgrading her in the first place. I think UA should comp her a one-time pass for the trouble.

LAX - SFO on UA0649 - cleared NF
SFO - HGK on UA0869 - V Class
*S here, so I don't get access automatically, but I'd assume my NF ticket from LAX-SFO will allow me to get in at LAX, no?
Also, will I have access in SFO?
Thanks,
Jim

No, you will not get access in LAX or SFO if you are not *G. F on the domestic portion of an international itinerary is not enough.

RCC lounge access on AC reward ticket?
Hi, hoping someone can help answer this for me, if I am flying A class on LH and UA will I have access to the RCC lounge at ORD during my layover if I booked with AC rewards?
I do not have status with any of the airlines as unfortunately I'm one of those cc point collectors that some FT's like to hate on.
I wish I flew more but my job just has me staying in hotels an insane amount!
Travel thru dates are: 2Apr 5:30pm-9pm and 12Apr 3:30pm-8:30pm if there are any kind souls reading this who can help me access the lounge!

2) A class as in discounted F? Yes, you will have RCC access.

What constitutes "same day"?
This Friday I head from SNA-SFO as the first leg of my trip to LHR in XC. I have no UA or *A status anymore. The flight leaves at 8pm PST. The next leg (SFO-IAD) is technically the next calendar day at 8:02am. Less than 23 hours, so it is not a stopover. The final leg is IAD-LHR at 6:03pm EST.
So the question is, will I get RCC access in SNA? It is technically on a different calendar day, but is part of a continuous set of flights culminating in an international C flight with no stopovers.

SNA club closes at 7pm. Probably won't have time to use it anyway.
