Some lounges are OK - especially skyteam run lounges - very impressed with LHR T4
I left out the mileage bonus because it's more or less standard across carriers, but it's generous, I agree. I find less generous the amount of miles credited for some booking classes :-)
Re: the upgrades on short haul... really? Never happened to me, except for op-up... or are you referring to the "BusinessPerTe" thing with the 2 upgrades that I was actually bashing as being useless?
