Next month I'll have the exciting opportunity to try US Airways as a new Oneworld member to/from Phoenix. My US Airways flights leave from and arrive into T3.
There is no lounge for US Airways/Oneworld members in T3. :shock::shock::shock:
Their website advise that members can use the T4 Admirals Club, and then use the airside shuttle bus to get back to T3.
I presume after flying in from Aus, I can leave my bags at the TBIT bag drop, as QF will be able to tag them to PHX? Really dumb question for someone who regards herself as veteran LAX traveller ... just being "new" to US Airways in OW, I'm a bit uncertain ...
So then I can walk to T4, do the TSA shuffle there, enjoy the lounge, and then take the bus to T3 when required? Or just go to T3 and suck it in without lounge access.
Then, on the way home, is there an airside shuttle that'll get me from arriving in T3 to TBIT for my QF16 departure (as QF16 will be departing from TBIT by then)?
Yes, I know it's a short walk from T3 to TBIT; but I'll happily avoid extra security checks if I can!! Although remembering my last transit from T4 to TBIT in Oct last year, the walk from the bus drop off to the QF lounge was so long that maybe TBIT security is a better option.
Oh the dilemmas of such travel intricacies. Thank Deity for AFF, because even my spouse would think I'm bonkers about putting so much thought into this weeks before a trip!!
