So you're basically saying the $8k pax who cares about an all-around premium experience now needs to leave the PL 30 mins earlier so he can line up early and in the end still board in a later position than pre-09/18?

How exactly is that not a devaluation ?

With the app notification roll-out, a smart and fit 1K will still easily beat the $8k pax who had to leave the PL 30 mins early to stand at the front of BG1.
