Silver?

Despite my much preferring many aspects of VS, and despite the fact that this admission may well get me kicked straight out of V-flyer moments after I arrived [:0], the booking is on BA. As I mentioned, the main reason is that the lounge access makes too big a difference - even at the cost of a more expensive ticket. Anyone who's waited in EWR will know what I mean.

A little frustrating, because I'd really rather be flying Virgin, but hopefully at some point they'll beat BA on this loyalty thing, as they do in most other areas.

I hope so too - but it seems to be very sluggish in coming. I've had to - somewhat reluctantly - sign up for BA airmiles. It's either that or tether myself entirely to wherever Virgin flies. Even I am not that sad. Well, maybe I am....

And another question - those of you who have what looks like a flying club card and a flag along with your nnames - how do you do it?

Fill out your profile with your location and FC number, and it should appear

Ah, if only all life were that simple....

I have to agree about silver status. It has made no difference to us, as our son is disabled we always get to use the PE check-in anyway[y], and the Gex/Hex are useless to us as we use the car[:#] Some other perks for silver would be much more useful.
