Elite status perks on a Prime ticket for someone else
I recently booked a last minute prime ticket for a friend departing from TLS.
It is my understanding that prime tickets for someone else get the same elite perks (FB gold status) as if I was traveling: extra luggage, sky priority, lounge access.
Unfortunately my friend was denied access to the lounge in TLS. Was she supposed to ask for a voucher at check-in desk?
I will soon book a prime ticket for my mother flying MRS-CDG. How can I make sure she isn't denied lounge access?

I don't think she did. I can see the red Sky Priority image on her boarding pass, her status would not grant her SP.
As the lounge in TLS is not handled directly by AF, I am wondering if that is not the issue.

Oh, it could be then.
I often saw SP disappear when there had been a ST FF# mix up, but never brought a guest in a lounge without flying together… so I can’t help you on this. Maybe others will have more data points on this specific contractor lounge use case.
