True. I had some issues in MUC and TXL with an AB BP. Calling the supervisor did do the trick.
In TXL it is the same situation:
If holding an AB BP + any oneworld Status you can:
- Acces the BA Lounge (which closes a bit early) because of the Oneworld Lounge rules
- Access the AF Lounge (which stays open longer) because AB has contracted the AF Lounge.
In MUC it is even more complicated:
BA has its own Lounge (T1B)
QR uses the LH Lounge (in Terminal 2)
IB uses the AF Lounge (T1D)
S7/AB use the Atlantic Lounge (T1C in Generic Airport Lounge)
AY uses the Europe Lounge (T1D Generic Airport Lounge)
There is no Lounge in the AB Module - so all options are not convenient.
With any Oneworld BP (and Status!) you can legally enter the corresponding lounge plus the BA Galleries Lounge, but it is located in the Non-Schengen-International Part and moving in between the modules is possible but complicated.
