OLCI and PYOBP

I think that PYOBP is much more significant as a benefit. With OLCI then I still have to turn up and get to the bloody darlek at the same time.

This week I managed to OLCI, get no PYOBP option for LGW MUC and so have to hit the darlek at the same time. Hit the machine and then we have a 22 minute queue for FastTrack.

PYOBP has no fasttrack sticker option!

Mind you, as the queue was just as long for all areas, what is the point?

I can see the point in avoiding middle seat syndrome, but there again, as my FF card allocates me an aisle seat anyway, what is the point?

I remember being asked years ago at a BA event where the staff got to meet the gold card holders, then I was asked if I would use the facility.

I replied a straight NO. When asked why not, I replied that my PA could do that for me. That confused them! Is it legal to have your PA answer the silly security questions for you?
