Speaking of *G passenger lounge access, is it risky as a *G (with status through an airline other than Asiana) to book future OZ flights? I saw that they aren't allowing award bookings after Dec 1, but it isn't clear to me if that means *G benefits will certainly be honored before Dec 1. It appears that currently *G passengers have access to KE lounges in T1? I am looking at an economy flight at the end of September that would have a long layover at ICN. The price is very good, but it will obviously be less appealing if *G benefits turn out to have ended.
In all likelihood *A benefits will continue till 1 December from the wording last seen (on redemptions), but nobody here can guarantee that will stay the plan 10 months into the future. Perhaps just watch the space and book closer to the date? I am myself eyeing a flight in late October
