Cabin ticket
Access can be attached to the fare or cabin you are flying in, usually on an eligible same-day journey.
One lounge door, several completely different ways through it.
The same lounge can admit people for entirely different reasons. Some enter because of the cabin they booked, some because of airline status, some through a card or lounge network, and some by paying. The door may be the same, but the rules attached to each route are not.
Access can be attached to the fare or cabin you are flying in, usually on an eligible same-day journey.
Frequent-flyer status can unlock lounge access even when the ticket itself would not.
Some payment cards include lounge benefits directly or through a third-party lounge programme.
Some lounges sell access directly, subject to availability and local entry rules.
Access may apply to one lounge, a partner lounge or a network, not every lounge in the terminal.
Some access depends on the airline, cabin, route or same-day boarding pass.
A benefit can work differently by terminal, country or participating lounge.
Your own entry does not automatically mean another person can come in free.
Eligible does not always mean guaranteed entry when a lounge is full.
Some lounges restrict how early you can enter or how long you may stay.
