I used to just walk up the LH senator lounge, show my boarding pass to the person out front and I was in (sometimes with a guest). There was no record keeping (since the person was in front of the door, not inside at the desk). | |

That gives you passenger numbers, which gives you lounge numbers. You might count occasionally for calibration or correction, but that's it. | |

| Sep 14 at 22:06 | comment | added | lambshaanxy | @Hilmar I presume they still added a tally mark to a written log somewhere. They didn't care who entered, just that somebody did. | |
| Sep 14 at 21:22 | comment | added | Hilmar | Today, where every boarding pass get scanned, that makes sense. But I distinctly remember earlier times where they just look at your printed boarding pass and as long as there was "*G" on it, you where in. As far as I remember no one took a written record of my entry. | |
