This sort of looks like they are axing any Gold and above non-Polaris flyers. This seemed to be the case with pretty every partner lounge, but not Singapore for example:


Someone please tell me my reading comprehension is bad. This better not be true. At airports where alongside the partner lounge, there is a star alliance branded lounge there is no problem. Like ZRH at least there are the Senator lounges, but take Mumbai for example, it's just 2 giant lounges for all airlines' premium cabin pax + elite status pax. And I might add it's a fantastic lounge too. But anyways back to the main question, is this true?
DL has been like this for years so it wouldn't surprise me if it were true but I thought Star Alliance doesn't allow this.
