Indeed, the only differences would be the Platinum Service Line and the extra miles. 🤪 And a few other minor ones that can be situational (eg. children in the lounge, which is only useful when and if you travel with your children, if you have children etc.).
Blocking the seat next to you would have been a great benefit for Platinum, but only if offered for free. With these changes they are reducing the monetization of the paid seats for all elites (who would pay for a seat when they can get it for free later on, especially Gold members who have a 3 day window), but let’s hope they won’t monetize Platinum by asking to pay to block the seat next to you (as someone just did, as discussed on another thread).
So fingers crossed for real upgrades.
