Their argument on the sitiuation is that they ahve the right to reduce services as they want to PClub members. Apparently, that includes exclusion. If I hadn't already trusted them and bought a lifetime membership, I wouldn't touch any Continental or Delta lounge purchase.
CO has never invited any elite plus FF flying economy.
Gord is gone.

The JAL lounge is very poor so you are not missing much if you dont get in there. The NW club in the other terminal isnt much better but almost worth the hike over there if your going to be in NRT for a while (also it is usually very crowded).
If memory serves me correct neither offer free WIFI either..maybe the NW club does now, if I have the time then I will try to find out on Friday when I travel through there.

As of sometime this year, NWWC made the change to comp wireless.
Besides milk JAL has first quality beverages. NWWC has gone to very small selection and mostly "bar" selections. 2 years ago, they had Remy Martin, then switched to No-name, now nothing even callable "brandy."
NWWC has great chocolate bars.
Since I never travel Business on CO, I no longer have access either as ST elite plus or PClub to JAL.
