CZ lounges?
Does anyone know where to find a list of CZ lounges? I'm trying to find if there is one in Dalian... (better yet, has anyone actually tried accessing a CZ lounge as a ST E+ member?)
Thanks in advance...

Yes. There is one.
Usually, if CZ doesn't own a lounge in an airport, you can go to airport owned lounge since they have aggreement for firs/biz/E+ members.

and the lounge in Dalian isn't that bad either 
you will find 2 computers (more then in PEK!) and lot of seats. I never have experience a crowded lounge in DLC. Some snacks and beverages. nothing to write home but pretty nice

And since when do China Southern have a service to, let alone a lounge in, Prague?

Does anyone have any info on the lounge situation at CAN? I'm connecting LAX-CAN-BKK next month, and am hoping that the lounge is at least decent--showers would be nice!

i) CzechOslovaKia, which is also the country registration code for aircraft (now why Slovakia got OM I don't know!). I'm sure CZ, CS and CK were all available back in 1923!
ii) CSA officials went to an IATA meeting, where some "housekeeping" matters like registration codes for airlines and a/c were being discussed. Being state bureaucrats and not industry people (not much of an industry back then, either), their foreign language skills were lacking. So, when they would be asked things, they would politely nod in approval and tend to say "OK" to whatever they were told/asked.
I can't vouch for the credibility of either.

just flew the NNG-CAN route last tuesday. no cz lounge in nng but they graciously escorted me to the china unicom first class lounge. vip treatment all the way to the gate. the flight was on apron and not using a bridge and then sent a private van to take me directly to the boarding stairs. they say they have not received notification from can as to skyteam members but the local NNG staff went out of their way to give me the VIP treatment.

I've posted a related question in NWA forum, but haven't got any answer. According to CZ's website, its FFP elite members (both silver & gold) are granted access to all Worldclubs. My question is that is this agreement reciprocal, i.e. WP elites (SE, GE & PE) will be able to access all China Southern's lounges?
