My period ends October 31, and previous DC-branded card showed expiry 12/15, the new card shows 11/16.
And I never got a plain card either on top of the DC card, they just told me they can write a "certificate" which is useless.

Just having had a hop with OH-LQC, I quite liked those Vantage business seats more into my liking compared to the new A350 Zodiac. I cannot tell why, I just feel it better that way. Probably the slightly more claustrofobic "koppi"-feeling with each seat on A350 Zodiac compared to more open layout of Vantage. I know I am in the minority here and you would say höpö-höpö to me, that's why posting here

Last Friday I flew FRA-HEL (AY826), and since it was Friday night I decided to upgrade myself with points. Nice flight, nice FAs, and food was pretty good too. It must the first time I've had rabbit on a plane. I like them bunnies on my plate!

^ Congrats! I'm enjoying the gold status for a year now (and have just managed to renew it with some point conversion at the end) and the difference it makes is amazing (especially when it comes to non-AY OW flights).

On a different topic, AY70 looks to be cancelled today (technically tomorrow, the one scheduled to leave soon). Wonder why?

(despite that being only an "entitlement" for OWE)But, where I felt the "power" of the card, was when I was travelling in the States and have booked my flights with conservative connections. So when I got to the airports, I could ask the CI Agent to put me on standby for earlier flights and thx to the OWS card, in most cases (to my surprise) I actually landed on the top of the standby list.
