elite plus on skyteam flight not allowed into KLM lounge (Wien / Vienna)

Hello,

I'm in Vienna flying with KLM to Amsterdam, I'm skyteam elite plus, after trying to get into KLM lounge I was told that elite plus doesn't apply here and I either present a valid Flying Blue card or Dinners card.

I remember last year I was here couple of times, flying on Airfrance / KLM ticket and the same skyteam elite plus card, there was no problem there.

What's happening? Can anybody explain?

Thank you

After few thoughts, calls and googling, it seems there isn't any SKYTEAM lounge in Vienna since mid January 2011. All the lounges here are contracted, so you have to have KLM flight and KLM frequent traveler status. sucks.
Skyteam said bye bye Vienna.

This will most likely apply to any other Skyteam members flying from VIE (Like Airfrance and Alitalia)
