I was in YVR with a 4 hr connection. Thinking about going to the BA lounge and park ourselves for like 45 mins until they closed with their flight departing...like 2 hrs before the CX lounge opened up. The dragon lady at the desk admitted one of the premium pax right before us, and when we came up, she said : " why would you bother to come in for 45 mins "...with an attitude like that, I just took my CX FC boarding passes back and walked out. Cathay has never done that to me, even in LHR or NRT...where the AA lounge is almost right next door to theirs. They just took down our AA EXP numbers and welcome us into the FC part of their lounges.
I am Plat with CO, DL and NW were doing the same thing to me....questioning me why I go to their lounges, when I can go to CO.
