Club Mark Warner have a big program of BA summer charters from LHR and they say silver/gold exec's can use lounge but no longer off the Club product - why? possible due to the downgrade of seat space/legroom etc ?
But why is that? If it's successful for the company to offer the benefit of a scheduled airline operating the actual flight, why can't/won't they offer the miles as a bonus as well?
