This is a reward Avios flight booked in Economy.

My wife is gold due to the UK AMEX Plat (im sorry!).

What can I expect? Are upgrades given? We are looking everyday for business seats but there dont seem to be any opening up.

Are we both entitled to the beneifts IE Lounges and checkins>?

I really want to try the arrivals and departure lounges.

We are flyING LHR-HKG in First on BA so assume that we will have lounge access anyway but usually the arrivals are for status holders only?

I have gone through the CX site and some stuff is still a little unclear. Are we both entitled to the higher baggage allowance. I am a humble green now!

PS my wifes expiry date is listed on the card as Apr 2013 I assume that this means the end of April? All our flights are end of March and begininng of April.
Thanks in advance.
