i tried reading as much of this thread as possible and tried a search but couldn't find an answer to my question.
I gifted a status pass to a colleague who is flying to NZ on a 014 ticketed fare. Flying AC metal from Ottawa - Vancouver, an 11 hour layover in Vancouver and then flying on an air New Zealand metal ( on a 014 ticket) . Will he be granted access to the AC international departures lounge in Vancouver ?
