Hello folks.

I searched the thread, searched the net, found nothing.

I'm JL Sapphire (OW Sapphire) and looking for Star Alliance Gold status match, as I'll be using Star Alliance this year, owing to JL's too high fares. Skyteam could also be useful.

I already tried TK, but got the "Emerald-only" treatment, despite having 4 return longhaul trips booked with them this year, albeit in W class.

Are there any options that I may have overlooked?

I just need lounge access.

Thanks in advance.
