(Off Topic...)

Fly Boy:

ANA seems to be a bit of an exception in terms of their treatment of Star Golds.

All priority services provided are First Class, which is quite unlike any other Star carrier. This includes:

F CLS Check-in
F CLS Boarding
F CLS Lounge (except NRT)
F CLS Baggage Priority

Also, to my knowledge ANA is the only Star carrier who (sometimes) offers personal welcome to Star Golds (and sometimes even Star Silvers). On the flight, the FAs circle each Gold/Silver on the manifest which perhaps explains the noticeable difference in attentiveness.

Unfortunately, other carriers gives Star Golds Business Class priority.
