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. Such is the times we live in now, it seems. A lot of people will have ST E+ through having leveraged the SK status match before they left *A (and then became ST). For me this is very much a move along, nothing much to see here .......

Row 26 on the A321. Only non club row that is 2-2 instead of 3-3.

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)….
