I am sure that's the case, but if we assume people are flying with VS on a VS ticket, then their ST FF status will allow them into the CH in T3. I am trying to understand that aspect considering there are other airlines within ST have 4 FF levels with the top two typicallyproviding ST EP. E.g. CA's Dynasty Flyer has 4 levels and you are EP from Emerald status onwards. So, if you are CA DF Emerald flying on VS economy you can enter, but the equivalent FB gold member cannot. It is just a shame, because it kind of breaks part of the point of having these airline alliances in the first place if you start to pick and choose the perks for different FF programmes in this weird manner.
