I understand if they don't want lounges packed with PP or non-airline status members who will be guided to Coral and Miracle, but not admitting same alliance status members just doesn't make any sense to me. Perhaps AOT's new policy was not followed correctly by CP. Time will tell, but this change won't go down well.
