and that's why as more of an international travelor I try to keep you posted on what's what on this side of the pond so you can update your sticky (which I personally reply upon when I travel to a place I haven't been to before)................. and, I agree, that although continental brekkie is the basic requirement (and technically limited to only the elite member) there are hotels that go above and beyond and provide full brekkie and/or brekkie for elite and guest (as posted by others, sometimes the whole clan too)..... some props with lounges provide brekkie only in the lounge while others give elites (in the most cases I found limited to plats) the choice of lounge or brekkie room................ and that's why I always refer to your sticky for invaluable info - GR8 job - THXs again.......
