If so don't begrudge the infrequent traveller a little extra on their hard earned holiday/break.
The idea that within a tier, or within the same cabin there should be an elite within any elite at the airport is just selfishly bonkers.
Remember whether you have 10K tier points or 10 we all use the toilet in the same way ( if there isn't a queue).
Indeed. As is not infrequent here, the attitude of "the line should be higher and should be drawn just below me" is showing its ugly head.

If flying EDI-LHR repeatedly you need 25 returns for silver, not 60.
