Between covid, inflation, and rumors of war, and what will likely be increased gas prices and higher ticket charges, the recovery of airlines is definitely challenged these days.
So ask yourself what difference in experience can you now expect as Silver today
. You get to choose a shorter line in check in without even reading the entrance signs
You get free baggage for a companion in the US
you can now elbow your way in a boarding group without embarrassment
your wait time on the telephone now drops from days to hours with a call back in the middle of your night
you get to hang a coveted baggage tag on your carry-on as you push somebody else bag out of the way in the overhead
You get to see your name on the gate upgrade list after the pages scroll to the end
enjoy
