Among the initiatives to be considered, included charging customers a bit extra to earn more points on a flight, and providing lounge access for Friday afternoon travellers. “If you can buy some additional points which all of a sudden takes you from not being able to redeem to being able to redeem those points, then suddenly they go from almost worthless to very valuable,” Mr Thomas said.

- Paying more to earn more points - not sure how it'd work since domestic points earn is already linked to fare paid. maybe a bit like jetstar bundles?
- Providing lounge access for Friday afternoon travellers - not sure I like this one given how busy the lounges already are. again probably some kind of bundle?
