You better believe it. Makes the SWU and shooting for 1k essentially not worth it. When I travel internationally, the *G (prem exec) gets me into all the nice lounges that 1K's get into. I just failed using my SWU's, which were extended to April. The SWU's just going to expire and go to waste. Why did I even shoot for 1K? To stand on some stupid red carpet when *G gets plenty of overhead space for their luggage also?

Understatement.

On Nov 28, UA917 FRA-IAD has NC2.
It's worse from SFO. Essentially impossible to find NC availability to Europe.

I hope you're right.
