Forgot about that. I've been using my Amex Plat card to get into the AA lounges but I can use my CX Gold and get a premium drink chit! (You're right, even their own ExecPlats don't get offered one of these upon using the Admiral Clubs.) Must remember that for tomorrow's and Thursday's flights. Too late now, will be boarding in a half hour...

Hard product is getting better. New F seats on 738s is very nice. And AA does keep the exit rows for their ExecPlats (and Oneworld Emeralds) so they are often empty since these elites generally end up in F on domestic flights. And the new domestic C seats going onto the A321 transcon premium flights look very much like CX's new international C seats.
