Lounge access for companion

I've a trip coming up to Naples with transfers in Milan on the out- and inbound flights and I'm travelling with my spouse on this occassion.
What struck me was that I do have lounge access while my spouse doesn't. I'm a MM Freccia Alata member..

As far as I know Freccia Alata equals Skyteam Elite Plus which would allow me to bring one guest into the lounge (Also, there is no lounge available in AMS?? I´m sure KLM crown lounge should fit the bill). So why should I have to pay for my spouse´s lounge access?




Also -on a different note- does anyone know where to find the booking class for the 4 segments? I didn't see it while logging in to my booking etc.

Thanks in advance..

As Freccia Alata, you and one guest have access to the lounges, in Naples, in Milano and in Amsterdam (KLM lounge).

That's what I thought too, therefore the info on the AZ site in my booking confused my a bit (see pic)

I'm not taking the mickey - you can look-up bookings for most Sky Team airlines (probably all?) on that website.

But that is not "info".

If you click on a link to "buy lounge access", then they will sell you lounge access.

That the website allows you to buy lounge access does NOT mean that you are not entitled to obtain lounge access for free via some other method (such as having a frequent flyer status that grants you, and even a partner, access).

Please do not use the website in ways that don't make sense ^

You can look up tickets even from non-Skyteam airlines on that website...

You're absolutely right, I stand corrected :-)

Try using the actual ticket number - works a treat for most airlines on Saudia

You CAN buy a ticket for the lounge. You don't NEED one, but that's not the point of that screen.

Thanks, after a number of failed attempts also with ticket number during the past few days this time it worked ^
