Didn't know you could do some coloring while waiting to board the planes. Do they have some crayons in the F lounge now?

Ladies get colour? Odd and subtle differentiation. And why even the need to differentiate?

Correct - I renewed a month before my wife - the coloured version is the 2017 plat card.

Cost cutting at its finest!

I did see some questionnaires asking about recent lounge offering changes - especially on customer perception about cost cutting.

I would bring up the penny pinching to the lounge staff in passing

So, next year, all flowers will be colored.
Can't wait to get the 2018 Plat card

You of course mean the digital card you can add to your smartphone wallet, and you can print out as a souvenir?

One additional 'spot the difference'.

I was doing some cleanup the other day and I found those two cards which were part of the one set received -obviously- at the same time.
One was attached to the cabin bag. The other one was attached to the checked baggage.
After five months, one has grown up 1 millimeter.
Strange. Isn't it ?
