Is there a published list of who is entitled to free wifi in the AC and who is not? I seem to recall usually getting a password when accessing as EXP (before I was an AC member), but I can't recall how consistent that was. I believe it is a published benefit to get wifi as a 1-day pass holder.
I realize that the AC is a membership lounge and not a business class lounge as it's more commonly understood elsewhere, but I can indeed see how it's frustrating. 1 year is in the $300-500 range - not insubstantial, but apparently, paying $6k for a r/t J ticket doesn't get you wifi. And paying $2k for a domestic F ticket doesn't even get you in the door.
