And the MFU upgrade potentially scuppers the Lounge access

The originally itinerary books something like:

MAN-LHR - J class - 20 TPs and lounge
LHR-NYC - T class - 75 TPs, no lounge
NYC-LHR - T class - 75 TPs, no lounge
LHR-MAN - J class - - 20 TPs and lounge

As soon as you MFU you sometimes get

MAN-LHR - X class - no lounge as it is an economy bucket
LHR-NYC - U class - lounge as club world
NYC-LHR - U class - lounge as club world
LHR-MAN - X class - no lounge as it is an economy bucket

To be fair to BA:

Domestic sectors on Club/First seem to be booking into U now ^ except that anecdotally there is less U inventory than X on domestics

Lounge agents seem to be better advised that connections to Club mean lounge access anyway. ^
