As I am tackling my first ONE4 at the end of the year, and have recently begun a new job that could involve regular travel interstate, I've begun thinking about how I might be able to attain WP to enjoy some of the nicer lounges as we jet around the world.
Work will happily pay for full Y fares for interstate travel but by my calculations it would take 35 weeks of travel (assuming fly out Monday and back Thursday/Friday between SYD and MEL, CBR, BNE) to achieve WP on the business dime alone.
Acknowledging that this can be supplemented by JASA's, DSC's, international trips etc I'd be interested to know how people have achieved WP or higher using primarily domestic travel. Do the majority of people just travel this much? Do you do multiple trips in a week? Are you based in PER and doing longer-haul domestic.
In particular, I'd love to hear from anyone who does it deep discount Y, as that would seem to require a helluva lot of flying!
