FYI--
Extra CO Miles on VS in UpperClass...

...I was hassled about my carry-on too.
In the end, MissBumpMe! and I had to check our roll-aboards... which cost us NEARLY AN HOUR AT LHR as we waited for them to roll off the baggage claim.
That was terribly disappointing.
The in-cabin service was decent.
The seats were very, very close.
And, despite my CO Plat Status and her CO Gold, we STILL ended up in the CENTER section of an A340... 2 - 4 - 2.
That also was disappointing.
