Loune access in ARL/OSLO for Codeshare flights?
Wonder about this:
My status is THAI=**all GOLD. Thus I have lounge access even when flying eco.
Have to make a few trips next spring/early summer from either STO or OSL to the Baltics. Most of these flights are codeshare SAS/AirBaltic or Estonian. I can book them as either (cheap no-frills, I know it). But if I book them as SK, do I then still gain lounge-access, even if its the other airline that flies them? And what about blue1- is that actually still a ** regional? (I never ever see it mentioned anymore). Thnaks for just a shiort answer,- tried to find it in FAQ or by search, but no sucess. I do not really care much about the very few miles I might earn/ or not. Problem seems to be these airlines are in EURObonus program, but not in ** all.

The OP should definitely get access flying Blue1 which is still a regional *A member.
Regarding Estonian and Air Baltic I'm not too sure. They are SAS partners, which means EBGs get access flying with any of those airlines, but they are not part of *A which should technically mean no access for other *G.
The best way to find out is probably just to try, since they allow EBGs in they may not think much about other *Gs either.
