I am curious about this as well: can you access the contract lounges in Accra if you're *A Gold flying Economy?

The situation has changed somewhat since earlier posts; United no longer flies to Accra, so the *A carriers are Brussels and SAA. I try to fly Brussels since it codeshares with United (and you can get MP PQMs and PQDs) while the SAA flight codeshares with JetBlue, even though the SAA direct from IAD is more convenient for many.

Can *A Gold status get you into the lounge that contracts with Brussels and SAA if you're flying Economy? Does anyone have recent experience?
