Excluding most OW F lounges, which are overrun by OWEs on lower-cabin tickets.
As a former OWE who enjoyed his fair share of F lounges on a J ticket (maybe 5x a year), I'm truly torn on this topic: do I prefer guaranteed access to "the best" lounge when flying in a lower cabin, or a more exclusive and truly special lounge experience for when I do splurge for an F ticket? But this is probably getting OT.
