Hi, all. I was contemplating starting a new thread on this topic, but I performed a search first (on "echannel", but not "e-channel"), and found this one.

If you read one of my recent posts in the monstrous China Visa thread, you will note that I scored echannel access yesterday.

A number of my colleagues want to avail of the same privilege, but I told them not to bother unless they can make sure that they qualify.

In my case, BA Gold worked like a charm, but my SK Gold would probably have been shot down (I'm not positive about this, but after the immigration person saw my BA card, he had no interest in even looking at my passport or SK card).

I guess my question is what FFPs do the trick, and are their tier status requirements (i.e. could a UA 2P qualify)?
