My boarding passes printed with PFI which I knew meant express security line, but I did not think it would give WorldClub access. I also don't recall the 1000 bonus miles before - they are not in my account now, but I will see when the flight posts.

This is not a WBC ticket - B fare (BHEPX to be exact). I also rebooked this from a flight I was supposed to take last week on a different routing (DTW-AMS-MUC, FRA-DTW) and paid the $200 change fee plus another $200 or so in fare increase - about $2400 total. Not sure if that improved something.

None of this matters much (except the extra 1000 miles) since I am already gold and a WorldClub member. This is my sixth round trip to Europe this year , five of which have been B fares. Is this new or have I just not been paying attention?
