For the few OW airlines flying to DOH, they do make a bit. But for BKK,, LHR, and CDG it is a choice of their own not to have any facilities for Y pax with status.

Is lounge hopping really that widespread? My impression is that most passengers will just go where the check in staff directs them to go.
