J lounge access is $100 USD? So I only saved $50. For $50 I think the more tier mile were worth it. Not sure why most people here said it's a "
no-brainer"
I have commuted every month ex UK - BKK since November 18, the price you quoted for the BKK-DXB segment was the going rate, coupled with the cheap price you paid for your economy ticket, it did seem a no brainer. However, if J tickets are particularly cheap to the destination you are travelling to, then it is only your own incompetence that is to blame. We are not here to individually price flights to every destination EK flies to.
