Companion buy-in on a non-LH flight for FTL lounge?
Hello all,
I will be travelling on Air Canada from Frankfurt soon, with a companion.
I have a Platinum Amex, which would grant me access to the lounges, but I believe only on LH flights (I would have preffered the LH 747 flight anyway, but I couldn't buy it on the same fare
)
Still, as far as I can tell, I will be able to access via my LH FTL (I don't think I will be *G at the time, unless some very exceptional work travel pops up...). At least that's what the website says.
I also know it is possible to buy access for 25 EUR, but for that, the website says "companions must show a valid Lufthansa boarding pass with LH ticket number for a Lufthansa/Star Alliance flight departing on the same day.".
Am I out of luck? Is my only option hoping that a helpful *G takes my companion as their invitee and I get in on my FTL?

Well, we'll see. As mentioned, the problem here is that *G will probably want to go to a *G lounge, which I can't enter, as such. Oh well.

The MLL fra will sell you access for a guest for 25€ if you have an AC amex, and you can buy MLL access for 25-50$ with your AC ticket in the MMB of ac.com.

No AC Amex, just a regular one... and since the ticket is bought through an OTA, can't click on Add Travel Options in MMB. But I think it's not available for basic economy anyway. It's not the end of the world, we'll just wait in the public section for once. (not willing to shell out 60 euros for LoungeBuddy voucher for FTL...)
