Thanks very much for the feedback regarding the lounge. And I guess you're right that by the time I get through the business class line it may be close to a moot point.

Sorry if I am wrong here with my assumptions and I also remember that there's this Plat challenge program with AA..

I would be making Platinum through a challenge (right now I'm OneWorld lead).
