It does seem odd that EI does not provide an option to status pax that is available to those on the cheapest fares.

There was an instance recently where I was keen to bring a bottle of wine home from the UK but didn’t bother as I would have to pay to check-in the bag…bloody status!
You have hit the nail on the head for me! I agree wholeheartedly with you.
