So what? There are dozens of arrangements where airline from *A contracts a lounge operated by airline from another alliance. I don't see how that's relevant. It's a contract lounge like any other for access purposes.

Incorrect. SK never differentiated between EBG and *G for the lounge access purposes. In those few lounges SK did contract, any *G could enter when flying on SK until Saturday.

Isn't this entire debate about LH not allowing *G access to their contracted lounge (i.e. SAS Lounge) at ARN/CPH/OSL? That's very much indication of this happening. As I said, it may be - and I hope it is - an isolated case, but it is a case anyway.
