Early boarding and priority seating are the main benefits for an FO.
Upgrades are really dependent on where and when you fly. It seems the average for most FOs, based on observations from other flyers' experiences, upgrade percentage is 25%.
Once you reach the 25,000 MQM, your status will be updated on the Saturday after you break that mark. You will be a Silver Medallion for the remainder of 2007 through February 2009.
