- If I don't chose the Intl MLL option, can I still use the domestic MLL before an Intl flight? ie. If I'm flying YEG-YYZ-FRA, can I spend time in the domestic MLL in YYZ and then move to the Intl departure area? What about if my YYZ-FRA flight is LH or Austrian?
- I know my family would lose priority boarding when traveling with me, but what about one companion? It makes sense that they wouldn't want 5 of us in Y boarding with one elite, but I wonder if 2 on the same PNR would be ok?
- Would my family or companion still get priority security with me? I've never had so much as a question at security with my family, wondering if that's going to change?
Anything else that might have caught new E35Ks off guard or come as a surprise last year, especially during international travel??
I'm booking a vacation this summer and when I realized I won't be a *G anymore, it got me kind of curious! Thanks for helping!
I would choose the Intl MLL option. I just got E50K for the first time just as the great enhancements have been introduced (co-pay eUpgrades). I am moving to A3 for accumulation this year, I would suggest you do the same. The mid-tier (E35K-E50K-E75K) benefits have pretty much been eroded. With co-pay, upgrades are not longer an option, access to *G lounges, luggage allowance and priority boarding are which can be obtained much more easily following another route.
