When AC and LH agreed to have 4Y replace AC848/849 with an additional 4Y flight, they put in place the ground handling agreement to replace [Menzies]. I suspect any lounge access is separate from the ground handling agreement, just as access to the Aspire lounge was separate from the ground handling agreement with [Menzies]. But who knows.

So, to be clear on the MLL question, did you get in solely by scanning your BP and having the gate open? Or did it not open and you went to the desk? Or did you go straight to the desk?
Yeah, I’m not sure she’s correct on that. It didn’t make sense to me. I did go straight to the desk and said I didn’t expect to have access. I saw her hit 4Y on her screen, she asked me why I was so early, I told her I came in from Winnipeg, they she scanned my boarding pass and everything lit up green on the computer and at the gates.
