Air France Frequence Plus - AF Premiere ground services for a fee?

Hi everyone, I got an email from FB today offering La Premiere ground services at CDG when flying in Affaires to a destination that does not have a La Premiere cabin. Available for the miserly sum of 300 Euros or 40000 miles. I've not been in LP since the revised services kicked in (last time would have been 2010 and other than the dedicated security line in CDG we had no special treatment at all), so is this worth doing at all?

Email text:
"After carefully considering suggestions from our customers, we would like you to benefit from the unique experience of the Air France La Première ground services at Paris.-Charles de Gaulle 2 airport. What better way to relax before your flight or during your transfer?

As a Platinum member, benefit from this unique offer each time you travel in Affaires class on a long-haul Air France flight* which is not equipped with a La Première cabin.

The upgraded first class service at CDG started around 10FEB2009. Lounge is not available for arrival at CDG though, just escort through passport control and luggage pick up.

It is only worth it if you can expense it.;)

There is a long thread about it here (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-france-frequence-plus/1321397-paid-access-p-services-j-pax-long-haul-flights-without-p-cabin-ex-cdg.html)

Sorry about that, I searched in this forum, but not in the Frequence Plus sub forum.

This is different, namely exclusive for plat members and also discounted. Seems AF/FB is acting fast with the suggestions regarding extra platinum benefits in another thread.

It is available, though, on connections from a La Premiere flight to any AF flight, even in Y.

Please continue the discussion in the existing thread mentioned by NickB. Thanks for your understanding.
