FEDEX- Problem with Air France
Has anyone else had a problem with Air France saying that we have a tag on our tickets and we are not allowed to use their Business Class lounge even when we have a $3500 Business class ticket....it seems to always be a problem in Paris and now it is in LAX as well....has anyone talked to the company about this?

There must be some "code" on our Air France tickets that identifies us as "discounted interline" tickets??? I've had them tell me I couldn't get miles on my interline ticket? This was i the "paper ticket" days ...

Had the same experience myself in Paris. Proud posessor of an Air Chance Business Class ticket, I was told no frequent flyer miles because it was a discounted ticket that FedEx paid only 15% of the regular fare price! 
The e-mail I had from Corp Trav indicated otherwise (their tickets must be wicked expensive, all I have to say!)!

The normal business ticket was $6500 , but you can get a 30 day advance for $2500, over $1000 LESS than we pay but we can't use business class lounge?
I am working this with the company....it makes you want to deviate just to poke them in the eye.....

Yeah but then you have to 2 leg it from LAX and NW isn't really much better. Our contract with AF doesn't have any discounted first class so we end up with the discounted business. It seems that we should be put on carriers that at least offer, per our contract with them, the class of service indicated in the CBA. Maybe 2 leg on British Airways or something.

I'll do my best from now on to commercial on other airlines than Delta - no offense to Delta pilots but I cherish my miles and would hate to be audited by the Delta IRS.

Every time I fly on Cathey Pacific I've had no problems at all getting into their lounges. In fact, the only problems I've had are on Continental in Paris.
Maybe it isn't an airline thing in Paris. Maybe it's just a French thing.
