Any cost above $0 is unreasonable to me.

I don't believe in paying for exit row seats as an elite.

If I'd already have lounge access, then any cost above $0 is unreasonable to me.

A decent benefit.

No FF miles without paying through the nose makes that a deal-breaker for me.

AA: Free upgrades for EXP and sticker upgrades for other elites/full fare + free access to lounges for non-AA Oneworld Emerald/Sapphire or paid AA membership or same-day international J/F flight and/or OW Emerald/Sapphire
JQ: Upgrades? Free lounge access for Qantas Platinum only.
Conclusion: majorly different.
