Lounge Access

Just read this on the website relating to Star Alliance:

Star Alliance Gold benefits:
Awarded to Chairman's, Platinum & Gold Preferred Dividend Miles members.

Airport Lounge Access - available worldwide for you and a friend5 when you travel with any Star Alliance airline regardless of your class of travel.

So does that mean when I am flying UA through ORD I can use the RCC there? Even though I'm not a US club member?

From the Star Alliance website.

Lounge Access
International First Class

Customers who present an International First Class boarding pass, regardless of the Star Alliance carrier they fly, have lounge access. They, and one guest, are welcome to visit first class lounges or any other members' departure lounges when departing on a Star Alliance flight. Note: AC, BD, OS and SK do not have international first class service.


International Business Class

Customers who present an international Business Class boarding pass, regardless of the Star Alliance carrier they fly, have access to all members' designated business departure lounges. Guests are not permitted.


Star Alliance Gold Card Holder

Star Alliance Gold card holders and one guest, have access to any lounge that is identified with a Star Alliance Gold lounge sign when departing on a Star Alliance flight. Note: United Airlines' Premier Executive and Premier Executive 1K customers and US Airways' Chairman Preferred and Gold Preferred customers have access to U.S. domestic United Red Carpet Club and US Airways Club locations only when they present a ticket or boarding pass for a same-day international flight.


Eligible Guests

Any guest of an eligible customer (International First, Star Alliance Gold card holders, and eligible paid member) must enter the designated lounge with the eligible customer. The guest must also depart on a Star Alliance carrier, but may travel on a different flight

No, and no even if you are a US club member.

Thanks both of you....I thought it was just for international, but was surprised when I saw that on the US site.
