I am picking up a CCCC in DUB tomorrow for 5 days so will report back what I get. I am Platinum which usually gets me an upgrade in Europe so I don't know if it will mean anything when they allocate a car for lucky dip. Has anyone had any experiences with this category in Europe and can shed some light on what cars to expect? I may use it a lot more in the future if others have had positive experiences.
