using the star lounge finder you will see you are not entitled access anywhere intl side, as access for *gold is only where the *gold logo is displayed, which it is not. it's a lounge operated by bidvest
I am a star gold departing cpt in y on et in a few weeks and I will try the advice previously given and I'll report back!
but I'm also used to being told no in this country. a lot.
That would be contrary to Star Alliance rules if they denied you lounge passes. The Star Alliance Lounge finder isn't perfect by any means, especially when it comes to contract lounges. In airports without a *G lounge then the airline must give *G members (+1 guest) in Y the same lounge that they give to business class passengers.
I know ET is known to be inconsistent at best and I'm sure this location is handled by contractors rather than ET employees, however this is one area I have found them to be very consistent, if you use the Clound 9 counter to check in, then if they forget your lounge passes just ask and there hasn't been any issue getting them.
