I just think the kind of the behavior is just embarrassing. On one hand, I like my priority privileges and the bottle of water that comes with the greeting.

Often, I'm kind of just relieved to be treated like a regular passenger with no real special treatment; I don't really want the unnecessary attention.

I guess some people just like it and they do anything for the attention.

so 4 pages of whingeing kind of explains why CX and BA are rearranging their unmanageable Club benefits

The point is DMs do not have this benefit and it's the GA who don't want confrontation that are allowing these DYKWIA types to foster.

Just tried WUH. As WUH doesn't have bridge in the international terminal, all flights are parked outport. For J/SL+ passengers they have a separate gate and a separate VIP bus with strict priority only enforcement (of course the VIP bus leaves the gate first ;))

I found it annoying that there were so many MPC members in the first class line. out of us 6 in line nobody else was in first nor business

Mmmm, maybe CX ought to really go PPS style membership where the PPS members get to board before the F passengers.

My experience flying PVG-HKG (which is like probably 50% of my regional flights) is that there is almost always a GA who has that OWE/DM sign, and sends the OWE/DMs to board in parallel with the standard J/MPC line.

(HT Flyformiles/Ng Chun Ting) HKG seems to have adopted four-line boarding:

If a DM or OWE traveling with companion(s) who does not have status assuming both in economy can they both line up at the First/OWE line or one in the economy and the other in First?

Both First. I remember a post in CX Secrets asking how many people can tag along a MPO member. I think a whole clan was tagging along one GR in that post but just one companion is certainly fine.

Strange that the old branding is used.

Yeah I've been wondering about the currency of these photos. However I swear the four-queue wasn't there last month.

SL/Ruby is missing in the queues

Worse than GR...

GR get worse... Dumped from J queue to PEY queue :cool:

SL is in J

Ruby, by OW rule, doesn't entitle to priority boarding... Only entitles to J class check-in counter

Previously, the four queues are
F/DM
J/GO, SL, GR
PEY
Y

Now it's
F/DM
J/GO, SL
PEY/GR
Y

It's more rational
