I am not a frequent flyer, but genuinely enjoy leisure travel. My family and I travel four to five times a year, primarily with CX, allowing us to reach SL.

Admittance to J lounge is a significant advantage of CX SL indeed. If this privilege were to be removed, there would be little reason to prefer CX when other carriers offer more competitive rates.

Of course, we are just a tiny minor fraction of CX's business. Perhaps we really are not loyal enough, but these changes would be quite disappointing.
