What about those who may not have biometric data on file. Do you have to consent to this entry method to use the lounge? Can you decline and have someone scan your BP for entry?
Use the entry for BJ lounge via lift at other end or side entry both of which are staffed to manually check BP.
... Or go to AJ or either CJ lounges which are without automatic gates.
Also at the automatic gates entry to BJ lounge there are 2 dragons who can do the manual entry with BP.
Same as I was allowed previously with BP via dragon, the automatic gate also allowed entry (with no raised eyebrows/questioning when I entered lounge 23 hrs before flight), so I presumed it allows entry up to 24 hrs before flight?
