Has the Lounge ever accepted PP? I've tried and been denied so many times I honestly thought it was an illusion (:

Air France, on the other hand, might be the only lounge I've been to where they guard country time lemonade behind a rope and server

I do agree about Chase, but I can see a pretty clear lane for them to carve out if they layer in some type of companion pass/travel credit etc. combo like AA/UA/DL
