There seams to be a 3rd kind of Tempo Challenge booking class out there, if you book "M". Not really Tempo Challenge but somewhere in between.

The boarding pass said "Tempo Challenge" on CDG-LIS or CDG-MAD and CDG-DUB for example and it allows lounge access in CDG and business class check in but seating is in normal TEMPO on CDG-LIS/MAD but in the front rows of Tempo on CDG-DUB usualy reserved for "our best customers". There is no real Tempo Challenge on that route.

I am usualy booked in M and today for the 1st time in 8 legs my CDG-DUB did not say "Tempo Challenge". When I kindly as the check in staff if that means that M is not longer allowed in the Lounge, she said "No idea, why there is no Tempo Challenge on that boarding pass, the computer says it is, go down to the lounge anyhow". In the lounge one quick look of her in the computer and answer "CDG-DUB not longer shows Tempo Challenge on boarding pass but with M class you are allowed in the lounge."

So either their is confusion in the lounge (thank you) and the computer on CDG-LIS and CDG-MAD created a "tempo nearly challenge" class or this is just an oversight happening to me.
