I would say that using the International First lounge with no intention of flying International First is fraud. You're falsely representing to the airline that you're going to pay for an International First flight, then once you have used that misrepresentation to gain access to services, not paying for them.
Kinda the definition of fraud really.
or theft of services?
Both.
Before you accuse people of committing crimes, you might want to think about what you're saying a bit more.
If you're just getting a refundable ticket to get past security and use the lounge you have purchased a lounge membership for, that's fine.
Although I question whether the hassle of buying the ticket is any better than the hassle of just waiting through the elite line instead of the TSA Pre line.
