The ORD AAngels can be miracle workers in IRROPS. For me that alone is worth the membership.
as my father (long-time EXPLAT) told me as I started flying quite a few years ago: ‘Admirals Club membership is a form of status ‘— he was and still is right.
But, as you point out, as agents are shifted to QIK and not given the capacity to work in native Sabre, the process of rebooking goes faster, but the possibilities dwindle.
All of the "magic" means having the ability to override restrictions and QIK is compliance software designed to do just that.
