I value/use some of these benefits more than others.
While these may be the max you can get how many actually make a difference a lot during the year apart form a big holiday? To me not at all.

Yes F lounges are nice but not much better than J

Haven't been to OZ for years so nothing to me

F checki in Vs J, yes can be nice but at T5 I never use it as I take the first empty desk

Gave up on CE a while back and on domestic I don't mind missing row one
