J has all that, but she tops me with the Hons Circle card with Lufthansa.<BR/><BR/>As you say, BA did everything that they could not to award it!<BR/><BR/>The best thing about the status is the ability to get into the lounges and away from the masses, but at dxb, the Lufthansa Lounge is pathetic. So we use J's Emirates Bank Al Shaheen card and get into the bigger lounge. It's much better.<BR/><BR/>With J's LH Hons Circle card, when we use the main Hons Circle lounge at Frankfurt, we're driven to the plane in either a Porsche Cayenne or Mercedes S-Class. We're also met off the planes and if we're catching a connecting flight, we're escorted through the airport shortcuts to our gate, or driven there if it's a long way to the gate. They will also hold up a flight's departure for Hons Circle members. Now that's service!nzmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03160346268566279764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29316131.post-1159787598520527432006-10-02T15:13:00.000+04:002006-10-02T15:13:00.000+04:00Yeah, it really works, the silver loyalty.

So we keep flying with them, and getting the silver again and again. Though I may lose it this year.<BR/><BR/>In which case hello Etihad!secretdubaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115610824191031176noreply@blogger.com
