So, a Basia C pax from LHR can use AC, SQ and UA in Satellite B and LH (business) and Plaza Premium in A.
Note its only C pax. Not status in Y.
But don't bother with Plaza... its crap. Encouraging pax to use this at least is a comfort that they're not charging Basia much compared to LH et al!
Similar situtation at EWR;
They contract the Art&Lounge, however, passengers could use the much more better Lufthansa or SAS Lounges. When C pax could use the Polaris Lounge, they were directing passengers to the crap lounge before security.
Probably LOT is paying less to these contract lounges than the amount that they pay *A partners.
