Presumably this will be described as another "Programme Enhancement" for Gold Members. I cannot wait for the next one - perhaps we should give them a list of potential enhancements when we see them in a couple of weeks time. Here are a few ideas:
1. No Lounge access for Golds even when in Business or First Class (to help reduce overcrowding for other members).
2. Guaranteed Downgrades for Golds except those in Economy even when oversold in Economy.
3. Reduced baggage allowance for Golds in all classes of travel.
