Where is the advantage to high value fliers of the higher EQD requirement,, other than knowing its more exclusive.
Agreed - I flew JFK to AUS, then AUS-DFW-JFK return last week. There were 27 u/g requests to Austin, 49 between AUS and DFW, and a mere 19 returning to JFK. The LGA DFW flights are regularly 30-50 u/g requests, and as such I am regularly about 8th on the list.
