I thought so too, for the longest time, but was always perplexed as to why there was such a long wait at the gate at the F lounge if I showed up at the time on the BP.

So once I walked down and round to the normal gate instead of waiting around for an agent to make an appearance at the F gate, peeked at a Y passenger’s BP and they had the same time. Perhaps an assumption I’m making on a sample of one.

But for this particular problem I think there’d need to be a different time allocated between status passengers in Y, and J and F passengers irrespective of status.
