As a "younger" traveller that gets the stare-down from the boomer class in lounges and across the J aisle, I think that this will adversely affect me. Considering moving to Greece and abandoning my MM quest.
This isn't quite on topic, but I sat next to said baby boomer in J last week, and being the younger traveler, he pulled out the secret armrest cup holder, silently looked at me, and thought he was all that. When the drinks came, I placed it on the regular cupholder part of the armrest. He was visibly upset.

Ok back to the topic...
