hi, can you elaborate on this a bit?

Lounge access and the very frequent OPUPs ex DXB when the right flight is booked based on publicly available data is a very big plus ( unashamed plug for expertflyer & kvs tool here ).
also, how does one increase their chances of getting opups? I've only had it once and that was only because I made the (horrible) mistake of doing a 10hr transit period to save £50! as of now, all my flights are for personal travel, so #1 (price) comes first and foremost!
