The “partner lounge” list on that page is a list of the
contract lounges that are not *A lounges.
The page also states that “
To see the full list of Star Alliance™-affiliated lounges, go to the Star Alliance website.”
All I can say is that paid UC members are entitled to use the same *A lounges that *G members use. If TK chooses to deny them through ignorance or a deliberate effort to flout the rules, I can’t stop them.
