...which is why I find it so daft that we can't have access when flying on 4U flights (but we get status miles and segments). The rules are so inconsistently and illogically applied.

So far, I don't see any sign of 4U flight numbers on some of my favourite routes on reservation searches for next year..but I only looked at DUS-GVA, DUS-EDI, DUS-MAN and DUS-ZRH,
