Thanks, but not what I was asking.
Very simple, not that rare:
Status matched to Asante Gold, but since with Asante you only earn with 3 ST airlines, have to build up status with someone else from scratch. So FB for example will be on the boarding pass, with no status.
With *A lounges all you need is the card, doesn't have to be on your reservation.

According to the ST website, it should be possible - but in real life.... quite often not as per the alliance rules.

'Regardless of their travel class, SkyTeam Elite Plus members1 traveling on, or connecting to/from, a same-day international flight2 operated by a SkyTeam member airline have access to a lounge. Lounge access will be provided only at your departure airport and transfer airports, and not on arrival.
For connecting customers, both the domestic and international flights must be operated by a SkyTeam member airline. Simply present your boarding passes and a valid Elite Plus membership card for the lounge agent to validate for admission.'
