I can't wait to see how it's going to be this year. I have a flight tomorrow on Air France. As per the announcement, I am entitled to an extra free baggage allowance, right? Let's see how it goes.

Edit: there is a new tab "Partner Airlines’ Benefit" on the Elite Benefits page, it might be easier than I thought:

A very quick report... no surprise:
  • I have been asked to pay for checking-in my bag
  • When I went to the priority boarding lane, I had to explain the situation... they should call it "shame priorty boarding" benefit.
By the way, CZ has been very generous on transit accommodation, right? I had a chat with a ground staff a couple of weeks ago and it's now official on their website : NO MORE TRANSIT HOTELS for cheap tickets booked after January 26th.

It is always funny to browse their website as I never ever get a single communication but see some changes from times to times.
