Which Diamond benefits are you receiving each time you book with FHR, since FHR benefits match or exceed everything Diamond provides with the exception of points earning.
For starters, upgrades are generally more limited on FHR (officially 1 category only) and may not reach Club level or suite, which you may otherwise receive as a Diamond.
