I read this to mean that if I have, for example, an AF-coded ticket on a DL operated flight, I am not entitled to access. Perhaps unfair in this day of alliance partnerships and code-shares, but clear enough.
The access to the club pertains to the aircraft, not the flight number.
How does this reconcile to the preceding statements about access corresponding to the ticketing carrier and codeshare agreements not applying? If I purchase a ticket from AF with and am ticketed on AF flight numbers on all of my segments, am I then entitled to access? This would appear to be the case, even though in this case access would not correspond to my ticket and codeshare agreements would apply!
It seems non-contradictory to me, albeit bad news.

I read it as:

"It has to be our ticket, our lounge, and our metal".
