Star Gold Benefits on BMI
I'll be buying some LHR-CDG fares soon. I note that the tiny and discount econ fares offer only self serve check in and no lounge access. As a star gold, can I use a counter and/or the lunge if I need too? Thanks in advance.......

To be on the safe side and avoid any arguments I would buy the standard fares (which are usually only around $10 more than the baby fares per flight). These definitely let you use the Business check-in desks, carry the extra baggage allowance and use the lounges.

But (theoretically) any fare class has multiple variants, a baby and a standard one. Except full-fare (or 'premium') that is
