WIth you on this Peter... although I have only ever reached Bronze in the past, I am looking forward to being Gold at the end of this year ((two months into my membership year).
I have a HNL run booked back in the heyday of 1340 points and I'm on a JER-AMS run this weekend!
But also thinking now about whether I can squeeze another 1,000 points for the GU42 ...
Having been on quite a few sectors in the past couple of months - most of them in Y, I really do appreciate being able to use the lounge. And having been kindly guested into GF back in June, I certainly value the difference.
I also look forward to being able to guest my companions (and other flyertalkers) into the FLounge when I get the chance!
So, depending on how I feel when I get back, I can see an annual HNL run being factored into my diary!
