I fly a lot.  1m miles?  Check.  150k a year?  Check.  500k frequent flier miles collecting dust?  Check.  Because I fly quite a bit, I get amenities Joe from Detroit who flew for the first time in his life last year doesn't.  But nothing really much, speedier check in, a nice red carpet to stand on in the boarding line, a lounge that has a cash bar, sometimes the pilot will come out and say hello and thank me for flying.  American airlines have nothing on the international airlines - they have free booze.  While I have tons of coupon books for free drinks, doesn't quite mean the same thing.  Ever want the true star treatment?  Well, you can have it, but for a price that's pretty low, more here via the WSJ.

Elite-level frequent fliers get lots of perks and attention from airlines. But it's nothing like the "star" treatment.

Despite massive cost-cutting and shrinking service, airlines still roll out the red carpet for celebrities. Many carriers have "special service" staffers to speed stars and VIPs through airports and on to planes, or out back doors to limousines. Special rooms, some hidden behind unmarked doors adjacent to gates and some private lounges inside airport clubs, are reserved for politicians, movie stars, sports heroes and other dignitaries.
