After about 10min the Lounge dragon came back to us, telling us that we are not allowed to be in here as we had no direct feeder to Frankfurt!!!! Started arguing where those rules are written as we haven't seen them written anywhere. No Chance, had to leave!! Tried our luck at FCL E but of course they knew already about our case, even the once at the C/Sen section were informed so we went to the Senator (friend is *G) and spent a few hours there. As we had to go back to the A Terminal anyway and knowing that there was a shift change at around 3pm. i tried my luck once more, and guess, what, we both could enter and spent the next 90min eating and drinking at the FCL A.

Should i complain to Swiss or what are your thoughts about this?

Yes, why not complain? What do you have to lose? Logically, you should have had access without all this nonsense and embarrassment. Also, the rules on their face allow this (and if not, they should be way clearer). Since the LX LDs are a pain in the a$$ anyway and take advantage of ambiguous or non existent rules (make $hit up as they go along), there’s no downside here — it’s not like they could make things worse.
