I will be Gold too for the first time in April (all other things being equal, US Airways Irrops notwithstanding !) and I shall expect:
  • a personal escort to take me from Flounge to gate
  • the Captain to salute as I board
  • a pair of cabin crew with brooms to sweep the path before me
  • a row to myself (up the front, naturellement....)
  • a menu personalised to my individual preferences
  • everyone else to be held back until I have gracefully deplaned

Unfortunately, what I think I'm more likely to get is:
  • a C gate suddenly showing on screens no earlier than T-10
  • the cabin crew pretending to smile at me as I board
  • an aisle jammed with people utterly devoid of personal space awareness
  • 2 hours playing armrest shove ha'penny with a hairy-a****d engineer
  • a tiny, cellophane sandwich and all the c**p coffee I can drink
  • an aisle jammed with people utterly devoid of personal space awareness, again :-(

So, normal service then :-)
