Please do not post if you are not in favour - there are already long moaning threads about this.
It may be a very short thread LOL, with just me posting, unless there are brave souls to admit they are in favour?
For me, I actually (selfishly like it). It will be at least neutral for me, but most likely slightly more beneficial.
In neither scheme I had a chance for Gold, so Silver has always been my sweet spot and this will to change with new rules.
My typical average flight length is perhaps 12-13hours with 15-16 hours not uncommon (of course that includes connection in HEL or such).
Ok, now I am waiting for this thread to die out rather quickly
Great idea for a thread! As someone with no dog in this fight, I'm genuinely curious about the perspectives of those who either welcome the change or are at least neutral toward it. I flew British Airways last year on an AA ticket/code share to Basel connection at LHR. I used the lounge and was quite underwhelmed by the experience—the food was mediocre, lounge was crowded with limited seating, long bathroom lines, and some passengers in front of me waiting for admittance were clearly guesting others. It felt little different from the general departure area. If the changes to BA's loyalty program help reduce the crowding and bring back a more relaxed, less congested lounge environment, I’d certainly welcome that, if I fly BA again in the future.
