Yeah, you might be right actually. Just been checking the website and it doesn't mention anything about Crown lounge access when not travelling on a Skyteam carrier. Yet another benefit which has been eroded with the new "generous" Flying Blue. Really getting quite annoyed at all the promotional rubbish which is being spouted by KLM/Air France about the new frequent flyer scheme being "generous by nature". If anyone can definitely confirm whether we get access to Crown Lounges when not flying Skyteam then it would be appreciated as I am flying BA from Dubai in two weeks.
