I've added some known/useful GG and other SHARES codes in this post. Please offer corrections or other useful ones in this thread to have them added to the lists.

"Plan B" for International Business rewards
Perhaps the FAQ should be updated to include International Business under "Plan B for Reward Tickets". I've verified that this works (at least the waitlisting; I'll report back if/when I can/cannot standby at the airport) for saver Business rewards, in my case SB15PZ (Japan-Oceania).
The existing language in the FAQ talks only about BF.

I've also updated a number of posts to reflect the PPlatinum status and to finally remove SkyTeam from everything.
As always, post in here if there are issues/updates/ideas.

According to Continental FAQ thread, you need to be over 21 to access the President's Club (unless entering as a guest). I have a Z class ticket EWR-TLV on 12/28, but will be only 19. I was wondering if in general, the CO representative at the door allows that kind of thing to slide. If so, what kind of amenities can I expect to find in the lounge?

As for amenities, chips, crackers and cheeses are pretty much all you'll have on the food side. Free water, coffee, tea, sodas and juice to drink. Free showers in the C2/3 club. And free wifi in either club.

Some minor housekeeping items:
Same-day standby change:
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/10993890-post55.html
Change to reflect the new rules for Platinum fees.
Code Inaccuracies
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/11568920-post56.html
There are two different GG codes for the same thing--"GG OVS DOWNGRADE" or "GG OVB DOWNGRADE."

The FAQ lists a 'ZM' fare bucket for Plat M-ups at time of purchase, but all my M-ups (after oct 3) seem to go to 'ZE'. Does 'ZM' really exist or should this be updated?

I'm not sure if they are still around, but there were four odd-ball 16-seat 738s with power. Ships 229, 280,284 and 290.
These had 110v power from well before the LiveTV roll-out and I believe it is still there, but I could be wrong.

Platinums have free same-day standby on tickets purchased after...
10/1/09.
See "Same-Day Flight Changes" http://www.continental.com/web/en-US...romoCode=A1631
"Upgraded tickets will be automatically added to the upgrade standby list at your applicable upgrade priority. Once you are added to the upgrade standby list, you can check your real-time upgrade status at http://continental.com/info .
Has anyone tried to look at their "real-time upgrade status"?

I seem to have gotten a ZV fare recently, I don't think that's one of the listed codes on the current FAQ.

Those would definitely be odd-balls in that they are 5+ years old. Can anyone confirm that they do have power currently?
