Avoid Enrich. The program has been devalued yearly for 7 out of 10 years. Just last month, there was another points redemption devaluation, with some sectors (eg, KUL-ADL in J) increasing by 100%. Enrich has no consumer co-brand credit card. Limited credit card transfer partners. Options for...

$400 for a challenge. Have fun with that!

Why would they add more premium seats when aussies are happily shelling out $20k for biz class to Europe? More premium capacity=lower yield. Why do you think QR was blocked from adding premium capacity? Keeps the yield high for everyone else.

UAE has no shortage of people with unlimited money. Premium cabins are full. High-demand for premium cabins. Record profits. More people earning Gold/Plat through biz/first than ever before. The definition of a high-value pax for EK is *VASTLY* different to that of other airlines. It wouldn't...

Who needs status if you're always in business? Aside from extra points accrual + maybe a nicer lounge - it's all much the same.

If it were free, the same logic would apply. Therefore, the $80 is irrelevant, and maybe acts as a qualifier to get rid of tire kickers. A good thing for both customer + airline. LATAM I believe, is once-per-account. Other airlines have said once every 3 years... 5 years...10yrs... lifetime...

Spends $10,000's on flying and now $80 is expensive 😅 I would get in fast. Status Match offers don't last forever.

Very difficult to earn EK Platinum without biz/first travel anyway. It's a good move.

Each time I'm asked about welcome points or drink/bfast, I opt for the F&B, which I receive. But on 100% of my stays this year, I've ALSO received the welcome points. Is this normal?

I think Qantas should enhance the program by adding a new benefit everyone is asking for: Lifetime Platinum One at 8.5M status credits.

There will be at least 3 months' notice prior to joining. I would expect around April but things can change. WY are part of all the oneworld meetings taking place around the world, including the 'why is this project taking so long' oneworld-wide upgrade rollout. Expect fares on WY to INCREASE...

Or sell less seats? 😅😅😅

A change in leadership won't mean much. Same goes for the airline side too. You don't get to the top (or be next in line) without playing the game. Therefore, expect business as usual. Want change? Need a wildcard.

Try editing your photo upload, renaming it as PNG/JPG or something 'normal'. Cloudlfare can block file uploads sometimes. FYI: Status is good through end March 2025

For anyone interested, LATAM is matching both QF and VA elites in AU, up to Black status. https://latam.statusmatch.com

Did you all bookmark my post from 9 months ago? https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/131298-flight-row-fuels-qatar-airways-virgin-australia-rumours What repercussions might transpire in AUS after QR was denied access to increase available seats?

The big problem with Qantas is their benchmark of success is Virgin. Nobody is pushing them to be better. Outside of Australia, Qantas is a nothing-burger brand. Internationally, nobody gives two hoots about QF, and travellers definitely wouldn't pay any kind of premium to fly them. I think...

Hyatt House, MK?
