  OT – Anyone flown Delta Premium Economy (Comfort+) Trying to decide to fly LGW-MCO or use LHR via a layover into MCO on Delta. What is is like compared to VS PE? LHR is quicker for me to get to.

    Comfort+ is decidedly NOT comparable to Premium Economy. Comfort+ is simply economy seats with a few inches of extra pitch. On domestic USA flights there’s also better service (free booze + snacks in Comfort+), but on Delta long-haul flights booze/food is the same in Comfort+ and in Economy so the only difference is pitch.

      Thanks. I’ll stick with VS direct from LGW then.

  By way of an update on my previous comment about not being able to book online or via the app – I just called to make a booking and I was recognised as a Platinum card holder, despite my status having lapsed in December – how odd. Not complaining though!

    As a Platinum Accor card holder I should have mentioned!

  So, on Accor Platinum there is still no clarity, indeed conflict for some in status shown online, especially in the “print your card” area.
  For some, it appears no change, whereas others report apparent reductions to former levels. An Accor IT mystery is perhaps suspected then.
  I wonder if Accor will sort it out…

    I am still showing as Platinum ….

  As an update from yesterday (I commented around 06:00GMT). , my account has changed during the day today to have all status points/nights reset to zero. It also says “Your chard is on the way” in the “Your Account” section – this was not there yesterday when my account details contradicted themselves and is now in place of the “Get a replacement card” option or similar.

  For me, this is a welcome soft landing to Gold – I only had 4 nights last year (2 at a Sofitel, 2 at an Adagio Aparthotel) so definitely did not qualify for Silver, let alone Gold.

    Thanks Andrew. Frankly this is what I am expecting. We’ll see – it’s all happening rather slowly!

    Award Wallet is currently having a bad day and just giving me a server error.

  Accor have caught up – Platinum now downgraded to Gold for me – a soft landing.
  Effectively it’s no more invitations to the Exec Lounge – there aren’t that many! So not too great a loss.
