hmm.. at which airports did you do this? I was in fact yesterday in BCN and also MXP airport. The whole place was a mess.. packed with passengers. I was so tempted to go to either the AF lounge(in BCN) or the Monteverdi Lounge( MXP) to escape from the mess, but decided not too.. embarassed to be turned away with my Elite card. So, what you did was just flash your Elite card and boarding pass?
