If ye, are you getting it automatically? Do you ask for it? Which airports are you talking about?
Thank you.
U
for chinese airlines in mainland china, lounge access usually depends on a lounge pass they give you during check-in at the airport. they wont give you the lounge pass if on a domestic flight.

but once, i was so damn tired that i decided to try my luck and showed my AF plat card, and they allowed me to go in, no questions asked. was at PEK.

i have an AF FB number, and i was able to select EC during my flight on KL sometime last year. try seat selection using the AF website. for some odd reason, the AF and KL web portals show different seat availability. i am an AF plat, and on an AF flight earlier this year, KL site showed bulkhead economy seats available for selection, but not on the AF site.
