Good point. The trip LGW-BUD return even in statusless Y was fine - no worse than other European carriers - I like their 3d animated safety video

The 3 hour tour of Budapest I took was pretty amazing too.

If they don't come through with Platinum - which now looks doubtful - I'll credit my OW sectors to BAEC, where I'll be silver (OW Sapphire) by next week anyway. (We'll see which card arrives first...)

Will definitely be back to BUD with the family at some point when I've more time to spare, so Malev's promotion hasn't been a total waste at all.
