Since I will get my boarding passes at my city of origin on 3/31, will my boarding passes show OWE on both the boarding passes? If so, will I be allowed access to the First class lounge for my connecting flight?
The corner cases we go into…

It will show OWE but you will become a pumpkin at midnight (depending on your program).

When I was MH Plat my status soft landed promptly at midnight. So I think if I 1) need Flounge access 2) get loaded into ISM’s iPad for greeting I will lose my entitlements if either of these events occur after 00:00.
