But no access for Flying Blue elite plus flyers in coach.
Have you (or do you know any Elite Plus member who has) been denied access to the lounge in CCS when flying AF? I explained the situation with CO above, and COPA have strong connections with them so I wouldn't put it past them...

I don't care about the situation in Malaga, it's totally unrelevant. We are discussing the OSL-lounge in this thread, Mister!
And I am saying to you that they may have this local access "arrangement", but that this arrangement is AGAINST centrally-set alliance rules (which govern every airport including Málaga and Oslo!). Therefore, you should complain about it and ask for it to be remedied. Unless, that is, AF HQ have written you to say that the situation has changed in the 7-8 months that have elapsed since the letter they sent me apologising for the local "arrangement" at Málaga....
