I am a Platinum Flyer with Virgin and use Singapore Airlines and Etihad for my overseas trips. If they allow dogs and cats on planes I'm out and if Qantas offers a status match I am in ASAP

I flew with Qatar to Sydney in December last year (2019) but my boarding pass is dated December 2020 (see attached). How is this?

Yes well, that makes a good case. When I stopped flying with them there was never a 'we notice you aren't flying as much' contact. They collect shedloads of information on me and either they don't use it or can't be bothered. Maybe youre right. I shall stay with Virgin. A few minor hassles...

I do 95% of my flying in international economy for work and I dumped Qantas platinum to go to Virgin after Qantas dropped the free exit rows for Platinum flyers (I used to spend about AUD25 000 each year on Qantas and One World providers). I get free exit rows on Singapore Airlines but the...

Last year I made the decision to stop flying Qantas (OK, enough sectors to maintain lifetime Gold) after 14 years (the last 8 as a PLatinum member, now lifetime Gold). I had become fed up with the declining service and declining perks of being a Platinum member so I took advantage of Virgin's...

QF has so seriously downgraded Platinum I am letting it drop this year for the first time in ten years. I will maintain Gold and a Velocity Gold. This adds flexibility, especialy as I do most of my flying in economy to overseas destinations. QF has downgraded lounge access priveleges and Jetstar...

I'm letting my QF Platinum expire as its been degraded so much that its not worth it. Now have Velocity Platinum and its way more useful anyway, especially in Asia. QF has abandoned many routes to Jetstar who don't allow lounge access at a number of airports.

Having been a Qantas FF for years and a Platinum member for some six years I finally made good on my promise to jump ship. I took advantage of Virgin's offer to recognise my Platinum level and took my $15 000 to $20 000 spend on flights each year away from Qantas. I am away overseas at least...

I am a Qantas Platinum flyer doing all my trips overseas in economy. I also fly other One World carriers where possible as I value lounge access first and foremost. I used to value access to exit rows.........The decline in interest in Qantas Frequent Flyers is very noticeable. I flew Cathay the...

I have been platinum for about 6 years flying international in discount economy (I work for an NGO). Its a mixed bag. Yes the lounge is nice and the extra points help family trips to make up for all my time away from home. However, lounge access interantionally is nowhere near as good as...

I have had Qantas platinum status for about five years and do most of my flying outside of Australia. I am seriously considering letting it slide, especially since Qantas made exit rows available for purchase or for those in Chairman's Lounge (as if!). I am currently way behind on my 100 credit...

You're right, this tantrum was a result of the final straw in a list of frustrations not the least of which is late flights (3 hours late out of LAX recently) and all the stupid rules that seem designed to keep one out of lounges when all the advertising is about lounge access. For example...

For me it was the last straw for my relationship with Qantas. I work for a non-profit organisaiton and do lots of international flights and my Platinum status was a way of bagging a half decent seat that I could open a laptop on during long flights to Asia and beyond. I've had two flights to the...
