Sometimes they weren't even ‘Grand Tours’.

Wasn’t there an FT-er a while back who was keen to maintain Gold primarily so that he and a mate could fly over every month on the morning flight from OSL, spend virtually a whole day feeding themselves in the BA lounges at T5 ..... and then fly back home again later the same day .... ? (and, yes .... we’re talking BA and LHR lounges ..... not even the likes of SYD, HKG, or DXB !!)

I’m all for YMMV and one man’s meat etc ...... but even those mantras have limits, surely .......
