Flying Blue Petroleum - Lounge Access Query
Does the Flying Blue Petroleum lounge access only apply when connecting through AMS / CDG from an oil route?
For example – if I travel MAD>AMS>MME am I able to access the AMS lounge with my Petroleum card? Or is this not permitted as I am not flying from an oil route destination (MAD)?
There is no mention of this on the Flying Blue page. The text about lounge access simply states: “At Paris-Charles de Gaulle or Amsterdam-Schiphol airport, get lounge access during your connection between 2 flights marketed as and operated by Air France or KLM on the same day as travel…”
Thanks!

You are supposed to be granted the access to the lounge even if it's not an oil destination.
As long it is 2 AF/KLM marketed flights on the same day, you are entitled to access the lounge.
Btw, I find Petroleum lounge-access pretty unuseful as you can't access lounges from the departure airport of oil destinations (IAH, DOH, ...).

Yes agreed its not too useful if you cannot use lounges at your departure point, but this is better than nothing I suppose!

You do not get the full Skypriority service though. You can check in at the Skypriority desks in AMS, but for example you get booted out of the Skypriority passport lane in EZE without hesitation as your ticket doesn't say Skypriority. And its free, I was happy with at least receiving the sped up check in services.
