I mean, if Aegean was a part of LH group, sure, I would get it. But Aegean is a competitor as well as a partner with LH. (Compartner?) It would be a bit bizarre for A3 and LH to coordinate lounge busyness levels, since generally, competitors like to compete. If LH makes money for all of the A3 pax entering their lounge, then it doesn't seem like a typical business move to reject A3 pax outside of peak periods.
