I know this is an old post and the question I have might not relate to this post but could not find a thread I could post my question.

First, I am Plat and have PC card and went to the LH lounge in DTW today as my flight was flying out of D1. I handed my PC card/ID which she just glanced at but wanted to see my BP. She wrote down few things on her clipboard form some info off my BP and I was in. It was a Senator club, I think. I club was nice and the spread was nice and different from PC. And they had single malt scotch. But I was neither hungry and it was a little too early for me to enjoy the fine drink

Now my question - has anyone visited the LH club recently and if so, what is the hot meal they serve called? It was some kind of lasgna with lots of cheeze and spinach. One of my hobbies is cooking and I would like to know the name of that dish so I can get some recipe ideas from Google.

I must say I am still confused about this. I am thinking of getting a PC card so that I can enjoy some lounges around the world without having *A Silver or Gold.

The CO site clearly states that "Customers must be ticketed on a Continental flight to gain access to international affiliated lounges. Access can be limited at peak periods" and then lists a whole range of international lounges.

My question is, can I access lounges listed with the blue dot if I have a PC but not a boarding pass of a CO flight?

As I interpret it, yes, I would be, however, I would need a Continental boarding pass and the PC card to access lounges that doesnt have the blue dot.

Is that right?

Thanks.

Similar situation with me in DTW a few weeks ago (PC member, but she wanted to see the BP for a sec... I was on US, but that didn't matter).

I was there early in the morning, maybe 830AM? There wasn't any hot food at that time

I have no status, lifetime PC membership and was flying CO domestic Y on a mileage run cheap fare with my beautiful, yet no status, girlfriend. My experience this weekend:

Arriving in DTW=no access
Departing DTW=access

Hope this helps.

I've started flying EWR-DTW on a regular basis and just today realized that I could use the Lufthansa lounge. I had to show my BP and PC club card, then the agent motioned me to the right (not sure which side - Senator or Business - I was on). Very nice, clean well appointed club with things you'd never find in a PC, like bottled water, hot food/soup, and best of all, see below.....


Only downside is that they close at 6:30pm after the daily LH flight leaves, so no luck if you're on an evening flight.
