For the record..
 
For the record:

CX matched me thru gold this morning.

I booked and paid 5 HKG-LHR's in F.

Did CX just comped you automatically, or did you have to request one after you booked those flights?

Plus, since you fly F class all the time, you are bascially enjoying all the benefits of being a Diamond member, with the small exception of guest lounge access.

They comped me automatically.

The reason I would prefer status over just F class benefits is the priority waitlist, res number, and guarenteed seat.

Thanks

i agree status benefits are small if you fly first class. but if you book in A class a lot, status with CX is worth a lot to secure seats ...

Well done! I am sure it was a sensible decision from CX's side since you are such a high revenue-generating customer.

I was originally based between London and Sydney. LHR-BA/BD/VS status explained. Then, moved for a quick stint in New York JFK-AA/UA status explained. Now, I have been relocated to Hong Kong, and will be travelling alot between HKG-DXB-LHR. HKG-DXB is obviously operated by CX whereas DXB-LHR is EK. My AF FB status is still a mystery to me- mainly KUL-AMS' and HKG-CDG's on AF. The reason I posted in the CX forum and the EK forum was asking the forum , who have a lot of knowledge of these things to help me out and make my request easier.

I work for one of the largest investment banks in the world - all my travel on all my other status' has been flown. If you would like a copy of my frequent flyer statements, PM Me.

Don't flame without knowing your facts. Simple.

I wrote a reply to you over at the EKforum about your cross-postings. Again, you are free to post anywhere - as long as your posts are not identical.
