An interesting point that FlyingClub Silver does not give lounge access.
If I would like to retain FC Silver status, I would need 8 return flights with VS ( in discount ECO ) were for the same price and same flying pattern ( IST-USA mainly - VS interlines with TK or BA for the IST-LHR part ), I could achieve DL Medallion Gold ( ST Elite ) from the beginning which has better perks when flying VS so that this offer is not tempting for myself.
However, this offer might be beneficial to some LHR based people.
