Refused entrance to the contract lounge in Orly a few minutes ago.... Reading this thread it seems jumping up and down is not going to help....

I had never ever imagined that no lounge acces as *Gold when flying Star metal tucked in that carrier could possibly happen.... On codeshares sure, on "operated by" sure.... But never seen this before

Annoying given that there was a cheaper Transavia flight that I could have taken by didn't for the lounge access.

If TAP doesn't want to respect the Star alliance promise the they should just leave and lose the Star customers....
