Whoa! We got a lot of talk here. Everybody relax. I won't make a rukess. I'll ask them to transport me and my wife because it's 5am (landing time) and we have 5 hours till our next flight.
Oh, and just BTW, the Germans have been pretty good in the past at "transporting" Jews. They transported about 6 million of them in the 1940's. I doubt they forgot what it's like.
so why go to the FCT when theres the FCL within the secure area? We understand why but they wont, and as I said above Eli I didnt think you would make a stink about it, but others will that was my concern. ive been turned away from Lounges Im allowed entrance to simply since I wasnt traveling with my Card, happened to me with BA (my AA status gets me in , and LH my CO and UA status gets me in) and both times I simply turned away and went on my merry way. With BA I was able to eventually get a print out showing my status , only since I was wearing a yamaka that time I didnt want her to think I was trying to get in w/o being entitled to. She apologized and said she did think I was up to no good, but that the rules still required that I present my AA card (was FIMed from CO to BA), I told her I didnt print it in order to get in but instead to show her I wasnt making upa story and BSing her. She then said Thanks and said if I wanted to I could go in and grab a couple of drinks but that I couldnt stay inside, I said Thanks but its almost time to board the flight now anyway.
had to do the same thing in London where there was a long layover but they allowed me in based on the printout. LH is known no *Gold card = No Entrance you can stand on your head for all they care you wont be allowed in, of cause flying Biz or FC gets you in
I had that problem getting into aLounge in AMS as I wasnt connecting further on and they didnt want to let me in, when my friend saw me he came over and they wanted to see his tkt, in the end they told us both to Please leave as its not an Arrival lounge and werent happy that some how he was able to gain entrance
