*G Lounge Access at FCO
When I checked in at FCO for my FCO-IAD flight last month, I was invited to use the Alitalia lounge on account of being *G. This was completely unexpected. So while the lounge was crowded and the food there was merely decent (on one hand I was in Italy; on the other, UA keeps my food expectations low in lounges), I was pleasantly surprised.
But I'd certainly never heard of any such *G benefit. Did I miss something? When did this start? I hadn't flown through FCO since July.
