I understand ref Star lounges but the question here they are closing access to the contracted lounges. I am every week flying out of VNO and TLL (and some other airports) where the lounges are airport operated. So if I do LO or LH economy - SK will indeed pay them a lounge access fee when I am using SK card. Same time flying SK I will not get the lounge even flying Plus? This is totally insane!!! And if they really going to do that what else they have in mind? Probably a good time to burn the miles and go for MM Senator...
