Second I tried the Jet Lounge, which some Skyteam members are contracting in VIE. Was told only Flying Blue gold is allowed to enter.
This actually reminds me of my other tred earlier on flyertalk about switching from OK+ to Flying Blue, now it seems I'm going to fly some Premium Voyagers long haul and I'm just really really sick when you get Alliance elite+ and they don't give a damn, even when you obviously paying them for the ticket.
Contract lounges are not included as a ST perk. Only lounges operated by ST members are ok to use. I don't understand this entire thread, the rules are clear and people are complaining about it?
