if they let golds into the lounge they would be jammed. Air Canada has a "polaris" style lounge in YYZ that's a flop. It also limits access, but the lounge is so crowded its a failure. So unless these lounges are built large enough or they limit who gets in they wont work.
it would be nice is STAR could come up with a new HIGHER level, Like ONE WORLD.
