I just have to laugh Cathay claims the new MPO are aiming to give more benefits to premium flyers, when in reality they have cut benefits for us as much as they did for Y flyers. And now the renewed points system gave some benefits back to Y flyers, but Cathay still gave the middle finger to premium flyers. Good job Cathay, thanks for showing me the light, and I'll take my $150,000 USD a year business elsewhere.
Side note: I find it irritating that sometimes lounge attendants just rudely tell me I have too many kids BEFORE I hand them ALL of the lounge passes, and sometimes the lounge attendants will screen the names of my children's lounge pass with their passports to make sure they are legitimate. Do they don't believe some people do buy C class tickets for whole family?
Then it's just you don't need those additional benefit... For your particular case I guess no FFP in the world would give you much additional benefit when your entire family is already flying J...
For lounge... Do blame those passengers (not just any one particular country) who took advantage of the relatively lax entrance check... I mean those who just bought two J tix for the couples and got Y tickets for the maids and children but then all went into the lounge....
