That's a new one for me. Is it only MH who do this?
Not that I care, because the contract lounge MH uses was overcrowded and just bad, so I used my priority pass to go to the PP lounge. Much more spacious and much more facilities and food.
Fare class should not be the determining factor of lounge access.
1. Actual cabin class
2. Frequent Flyer status
That said, the MH lounge in MNL is a 3rd party lounge so rules might be applied at will.
