HELP! Lounge access with First class air tickets?

[bonniejoy03]

I was lying pretty darn flight!!! I had way too much fun playing with all the gadgets! The food was pretty good also.

I also called the USAIR lounge in DCA concerning our mysterious lounge pass. They confirmed that under our ff #, we still had a pass left! What a nice surprise for our trip to Ecuador via DCA!

The saga continues....Just got my husband's air to Ecuador and he will be flying economy one way and first class on the return. This is LESS EXPENSIVE than my ticket up and back in Economy!!! Crazy! He does get access to the Admiral's club and is allowed to take one guest! Hoping it is me! I am really fascinated with AAs pricing!!!

How WACKY is that? I bet that if you ask him nicely, he'll take you to the Club...

I experienced that same scenario on Continental - less expensive to fly 1/2 in econ and 1/2 in 1st class than it was to fly all econ. Never made any sense to me either

He is funny.....he is giving me the morning half of the flight and he will have the evening. (I figured it out-he gets the free drinks!!!) Do you think he is allowed to send a drink from Row 4 to Row 27????

I know you could send "gifts" from 1st to coach in the past - but who knows now - with all the cost cutting they may nix that ;-)

You actually can't exchange seats.It's against FAA regs--must stay in assigned cabin.. And any FC pax has to pay for a coach drink delivery. Now, maybe your hubby can charm the FA, but you should have wine/beer already in INT coach, yes?

Oh K.....not good news!!! I am taking the 1st section from Guayaquil to Miami and he is taking 1st from Miami to DC. I don't mind. This ticket was $32 less than round trip economy and now round trip has gone up substantially!

My mistake, B--I was thinking you had one long flight and you were sharing the seat half/half. Def a no-no. But, if you have 2 sep flights, that's ok. The purser might ask since the list will have his name in that seat, but it probably happens often.

[bonniejoy03]

No problem but never thought about sharing the actual seat with him in 1st class!!! Should be interesting......I can't believe how booked the flights are from dca to miami and then to guayaquil. Guess people are traveling!
