Thanks!
I got that incident number and that is.

Hi. I have not flown with Delta using my ITA number to get priority, etc. so I can´t be of help. Maybe somebody else can.

I was able to match AA Executive Platinum to Kenya Airways Platinum. Just needed the "AAdvantage Card" from the app and a copy of my passport. Match was done overnight and expired 7/31/2024.

How long does it take for you to get the match? I sent mine in about a week ago and still haven't heard from them. In a way I don't mind them processing it in August so the expiry will be in August instead.

Did they send you an email notifying that it has been done?

They do. If you received an incident open email, they are on it.

I didn't get an email beyond the initial "incident", but checking my account the status change was done after a few days. Very nice

I still haven't got mine, so I think I need to do a follow up.

Has the dedicated RwandAir Dream Lounge been (temporary/permanently?) closed at Kigali airport? In 2020 (domectic flight) and 2021 (international), we used this one and not the Pearl lounge ( which are very similar though).

Q1 Assume yes, they are easy to talk with if you get old on one (phone, airport or city office)
Q2 Both Lounges are open 24/7 and have been that since the end of the corona hype. The lounges are improving on food with several hot dishes and heavy meaty snacks and brochettes. The wines are few (all ex RSA) but very drinkable. Coffee is excellent. Beers have been entrenched to local beers only (incl. local Heineken). The brands are few but stocks are inexhaustible. The Dream lounge has at least panorama view although away from the lanes. The Pearl lounge has still blinded their windows towards runways. Showers are working.

4 very recent pix from Pearl lounge

I tried to chance it and asked for my BA Gold to be matched to Platinum when I sent my documentation off.
Did not get a response, but my Asante Rewards is now showing Gold. Still great for so little effort.
