- maintain the benefits of the Plat card, because fee is higher and because I suppose those PAXes already fly Biz or Premium.
For most French pax the lounge access is the biggest incentive of FB. They should make this a standard perk for the French AMEX Plat. As there is a lot of domestic travel, it is difficult to get the segments required.
