Being a paid status match (£99 regardless of level matching for) makes it less attractive (and will get less people doing it) compared to if it was open to all with just proof of membership/flying history; as was the case with the SK match for example.

For me this is very much a move along, nothing much to see here .......

I was sitting there just a few days ago - certainly extra legroom but those seats are hard!

BTW, there were 55 in CE…including the forward row of 2x2….(which I initially selected)….
