Flying Blue Gold but not Elite Plus

All : I have been a FB gold last couple of years and it used to have a ELITE PLUS on the right top corner..

Today i got a new card and it says only ELITE ?? Does anybody has this problem ??

And i am 3 hr early to LAX airport and walked into the Worldclub lounge and they said you got to ELITE PLUS to get the access and you are elite only...I said last week i was here and you guys let me in...She said last week in your card it said ELITE PLUS and your status now is ELITE only...man i am pissed off...I had put in India address as primary and communication address to USA...

any guidance ??

you must have both addresses outside the US to get Elite Plus. WC access is for Elite Plus only ... nothing wrong here.

I presume the WC access is coming to an end anyway as all the WCs are currently transitioning to the new Sky Club.

My past few BPs have had just Platinum Elite on them; used to say Plus as well. Have we, perhaps, become less valuable?
