Hi AA ZED, I got the info from a girl at WE FLY AA . She was "reasonably sure" that OA employees were welcome in the lounges. However, she did mention that everything hadn&#39;t been "completely" worked out. I suppose Nick&#39;s best option is to cross his fingers, knock on the door and see what happens. [/b]
Haha have you seen the show Thank God You&#39;re Here? Who knows what will greet me on the other side
I am interested in the mechanics of it all really. It was certainly a topic of water cooler discussion when I went and visited our ticketing officer - we wished we could have the same in HKG. Well we can&#39;t use our own lounge but we get a discount at the 3rd party lounge, i think around $15-20USD to use it so I can&#39;t really complain - it sure beats the $50USD to pay in to an AA lounge (I must say i was tempted when I had a 10hr layover at LAX!!). But yeah, I assume they could only be self-managed as they aren&#39;t going to employ someone to stand there, and they can&#39;t really make you swipe your AA ID as your family wouldn&#39;t have one? So in that respect I think there are a lot of details to be worked through - but interested to hear how it all works out.

SpainFlyer thanks for the great info. The last time I was in LHR, the computer system was down, lines were snaking around the terminal, progress was slow, tempers and temperatures were high, it was pouring rain outside, the guy behind me kept poking me in the leg with his umbrella and an agent was on a chair yelling for AA passengers for flight XXX to come this way....we did, right into another line.[/b]
Yes thanks also SpainFlyer, was an informative post. My flight to CAI is wide open, so hopefully I may make it a bit closer up the front like you did Considering i&#39;ll have gone MEL-HKG-LHR and arrive at 0500, tube to my friends house then come back to LHR to leave at 1700, I think i&#39;d fall alseep no matter what sort of seat i&#39;m in
