Otherwise beyond upgrades what tangible benefit will they offer? Not unlike the previous debates on the tangible benefits of iO status in previous threads. May as well just call it Gold+ if nothing new on offer.
Maybe I was there an unusually busy period? What I really liked about the lounge was not having to queue up for using the toilets and also managed to get a haircut at the spa.
I'll try to take a photo next time I'm flying F .
