Unsure how the economics of lifetime gold actually works...
(Does/Did SAS pay something to *A, is there payment to each airline to use their lounge, etc.)
No, the SAS Lifetime Gold will only gives access to Skyteam lounges when SAS leaves Star alliance. The status should be safe as long as Eurobonus exisits, what happens if they are folded into Flying Blue at some point in the future is anyones guess. I suppose would only happen if AFKL takes more than 50% ownership share of SAS in the future.
