How to get star alliance lounge access for four year (not free)
« on: January 28, 2010, 03:19:08 PM »
On every Star Alliance flight you take, have the credit go to an Asiana account. Hit 40k points and get *A lounges for free for 4 years. Im pretty sure that it has to be within one year, so this is only for those taking several decent size trips in one year.

open a BMI Diamond Club Account, which is *A.

For 16k status a year you become silver = Lounge access for yourself.

Getting 16k a year is very doable, even for the ones who don't fly very much.

Dont think that the actual status lasts four years, but you can access lounges for 4 years. Although I have not done this myself, I heard it from a very credible source.

I apologize, you are right, I mixed them up with the LH Silver, which generally allows Lounge access.

However, for 54k you become Star Alliance Gold by them.
