Hello all,
Our RTW done 4 for our honeymoon is getting closer, so I have been doing my research on lounge access. Also have locked in seating wherever possible.
I know what our access is in Australia. I am QF gold and my wife is QF club silver.
Any advice on what lounges can we access when flying our domestic legs on AA in the USA is much appreciated. Any other tips apart from the flights as we are happy with our sectors etc would be great.

PER: Qantas Club Perth Domestic terminal, after security
SYD: Qantas Club Business Class lounge, After security
SFO: Admirals Club, Terminal 3, Pier E after security
LAX: Admirals Club, Terminal 4, after security
LAS: No Lounge Available
ORD: Admirals Club, Terminal 3. Two locations, follow signs to closest one to your gate
JFK: Admirals Club, Terminal 9, Concourse C
IAD: BA Terraces Lounge, Terminal D, after security (best choice)
IAD: Admirals Club, Terminal D, after security
LHR: BA terraces, Terminal 1 Domestic, after security
EDI: BA Terraces
LHR: BA Terraces/Qantas Club, Terminal 4, after security
SIN: Qantas Club, Terminal 1, after security
The only place you really have a choice of lounges is IAD, and its a no-brainer to use the BA lounge as its much nicer than the AA lounge, with food and self-serve bar.

But in theory if you had a very long layover at FRA and the CX lounge was not yet open, then if you can get through the secondary security checkpoint in the middle of the concourse (and I think you probably can) then you could probably visit the BA lounge as well.

To add a minor remark to your comprehensive list, the OP should note that there are two lounges available to Sapphires in T4. Near Gate 1 is a two-level Terraces lounge and in the lounge Pavilion (near Gate 10) is a smaller Terraces lounge upstairs. I far prefer the lounge near Gate 1.
