US Club Policies
I'm going to be heading on my first international trip since US joined OneWorld and had a Club question. If I'm US Gold (OneWorld Sapphire) and doing EWR-PHL-DUB, do I get club access complimentary while in PHL? The same question from when I'm just doing a PHL-FCO flight with no connection.
Also, as a 2nd question, are the Admirals Clubs accepting the Barclay's Credit Card lounge passes yet?
Thanks in advance!

As a US Gold, you should get lounge access while traveling internationally (non-North America), but not for trips solely within North America.
At least that's my take, based on the Oneworld website research I did wile exploring the same question.

But does the OP get lounge access at EWR on EWR-PHL-EU?

Thanks everyone for the feedback!
Does anyone know the answer to my 2nd question? Are the Admirals Clubs accepting the Barclay's US Airways Credit Card lounge passes yet?

Edit: just read my email again and it turns out it's just RDU and DCA that have a reciprocal agreement with the credit card passes. Not sure why that makes any sense at all...

Per email all day-passes should be accepted at both US and AA.
As US Gold on international travel you should be able to have access to a lounge in EWR and PHL in your case.

Furthermore, AA club day-pass has NO name on it thus can be used by anyone while the US club day-pass has holder's name on it and can NOT be used by others.
There sure would be some argument at AA club when and if someone uses a US club day-pass with 2 guests as allowed by the T&Cs.

Can confirm, flew SFO-LAX-LIM last week and had AC access in SFO and in LAX. As long as your destination is international (/intercontinental really), you'll have lounge access based on your status
