You also get unlimited access to the concierge lounge overlooking the airport! Great Potos!!
I read reports on airliners.net actually just last night where there was a complaint the windows are not clean both in and out, but the view is still good. It was also recommended not to go for the spotters special but just ask for a room facing the runway!
