Two weeks back I flew BCN to ARN flying SK in Y using my TK Gold Card. BCN is one of those airports served by several contract lounges - as per the Star Alliance Website and also provides Gold Fast Track as per the Star Alliance Website.
At Fast Track I get turned away saying "not at Barcelona".
At a lounge with a big Star Alliance logo on it I get turned away after being shown a letter about the termination and I get to do the walk of shame. (Several others were in the same position.)
I had a choice on this flight - Norwegian or SK. SK was double the price. I know which one I'll choose next time.
