Officially it's not allowed I read on their site.
But for Schengen flights I've seen many people waived through.
However, I don't understand why one would want to c/i in the lounge and get one of the last available seats instead of using the self service kiosk. At least there you can SEE which seats are available.
Better still, with an e-ticket check in online 30hrs before depature and get the seat you want. (although some posters here have trouble with it, I've read).
