Don't hesitate, feel f...Dear best denki sensei,<br />Don't hesitate, feel free to ask me if I can answer, ;)<br /><br />Due to my understanding, lounge clubs operated by Star Alliance carriers are accepting their 'genuine' members each other. However the actual procedures may vary, depending on the lounges. For example, Lufthansa has stricter rules at the reception desk, guests should show their membership card. These days, the situation is somewhat better. We have digital membership card with barcode in United App, so I can show that screen. I don't have clue this works for Maple syrup lounges, but carrying the tangible 'navy blue card' is still essential just in case anyway.<br /><br />The above is a current conditions for simply United Club members. However, for me, I usually show my boarding pass which indicates [*G] the Star Alliance Gold member. Turkish Airlines CIP lounge will be that's it for today, but Lufthansa Senetor lounge still requests tangible cards, either United Club membership or United 1K card, even the boarding pass is for business class. <br /><br />Bottom line, yes your guess is correct but the actual operations may vary. The most important thing is; nice smile and polite yet friendly behavior to the receptionist for sure. That might be why I was invited to the first class lounge.<br /><br /> #<br /><br />Now I have last breakfast at the hotel, then take limo to Ataturk airport. I maybe post something if I found significant change at TK's CIP lounge at Ataturk.obaKobahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520586031308040420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9030843786433538220.post-49459837922471945982016-05-08T18:35:53.079-07:002016-05-08T18:35:53.079-07:00obaKoba-sann,
