China Airlines lounges

What the checked pages establish

One checked page explains how members earn flight miles and status points on scheduled international flights operated by China Airlines and Mandarin Airlines and on applicable SkyTeam partner flights. [3] It says flight miles can be redeemed for award tickets, cabin upgrades, part of the ticket fare, airport and onboard services, donation programmes and selected merchandise. [3] It describes status points as the measure used to determine tier progression. [3] It refers to DFP members and the Dynasty Member Portal, and asks members to present a membership card at check-in so miles credit automatically. [3] Those provisions concern earning and account administration; none creates a lounge entitlement. [3]

The second checked page sets out economy fare families for short-haul Asia, long-haul and Australia–New Zealand routes. [4] On short-haul Asia routes it lists mileage accrual of 0% for Discount L, 50% for Basic, 80% for Standard and 100% for Flex. [4] It also lists baggage, seat selection, mileage upgrades, reissue, refund and no-show conditions. [4] It does not attach lounge access to any of those fare families or booking classes. [4]

Both pages are about earning and fare conditions, and neither states that a fare family, booking class or membership tier includes lounge entry. [3] [4]

Taoyuan Terminal 1 and Terminal 2

For Taoyuan Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, the checked pages publish no lounge name, location, opening time, facility list or terminal-specific access condition. [3] [4] They also do not state whether the two terminals have separate lounges or a shared eligibility rule. [3] [4] This profile therefore does not describe a Terminal 1 lounge or a Terminal 2 lounge, and it does not treat eligibility at one terminal as evidence of eligibility at the other. [3] [4]

Cabin, Dynasty Flyer status and SkyTeam Elite Plus

The checked pages do not set out lounge access by cabin. [3] [4] Business, premium business, premium economy and economy appear in the earning and fare-family material, but the pages do not say that any of those cabins carries lounge entry. [3] [4] They publish no Dynasty Flyer tier table tied to lounge access. [3] [4] They mention SkyTeam only in connection with applicable partner flights earning flight miles and status points. [3] They do not state how SkyTeam Elite Plus is handled at a China Airlines lounge or a contract lounge. [3] Status points are described as determining tier progression, but no status-point threshold is linked to lounge use. [3]

Outstations and contract lounges

The checked pages give no outstation lounge list, operator name, airport-by-airport access rule or reciprocal arrangement. [3] [4] They do not say that any outstation uses a contract lounge, or that China Airlines-operated and contract facilities follow the same entry rules. [3] [4] A reader who finds a lounge at an outstation should not use this page to establish which programme or status admitted them. [3] [4]

Exceptions and limits

Flight mileage is valid for 36 months based on Taipei local time from the date of the China Airlines, Mandarin Airlines or partnership flight, or from the date of actual spending for cross-industry cooperation. [3] Expired miles can be reinstated within six months for a fee, and reinstated miles are valid for 12 months. [3] Certain discount, free, award, infant, group, promotional and industry tickets are excluded from flight-mile or status-point accrual. [3] Economy fare families vary mileage accrual by booking class. [4]
