Lounge Access Value
Interesting times.
Just pricing up some more UK-Oz trips, looking at Y at the moment.
The quote this time, via the EK website, looked high so I did a quick last minute.com search and found that, for my dates, Singapore, Virgin Australia, Ethiad, Qantas (???) and BA (BA FFS) are all cheaper.
How things have changed. When I started flying EK early last year they were thereabouts the cheapest.
What EK does offer me as a gold (and I guess Ethiad too if I get a status match - in process) is lounge access in the UK, DXB and BNE.
The best price difference at the moment is £432 (Virgin Australia via Ethiad) and these are social trips paid for by me.
And this begs the question...what is lounge access worth to you?
