Hello PHL/US experts:
My wife and I will be flying DUB-PHL-SEA in Envoy/F on a UA mileage award. We have a scheduled four-hour PHL layover. Can we enter a US lounge by showing our Envoy DUB-PHL BPs?
Thanks!
P.S. My experiences on US since 2012 have been so much better than my experiences on UA as an elite, I'm sticking with AA/US for revenue travel through the merger and beyond...

No, you won't have lounge access at PHL because you're not departing on international business class from PHL.
That said, US might handle it differently, so it can't hurt to go to the lounge and try. However, if you're arriving in PHL A and departing from B/C terminal, you might honestly have a better time going somewhere in the B/C connector (the large hall connecting the two terminals). Despite the fact that we live in Maine, we always stop at Legal Sea Foods for dinner when we're at PHL or BOS. It wouldn't be a bad place to park yourself for a meal and drinks.
Unless you're just looking for a place to sit and use a clean bathroom, domestic US lounges aren't anything to go out of your way to visit.

I connect through PHL now and then and usually eat at Legal's on that big connector concourse -- a good place to hole up.
