Yeah - appreciate it's a risk - and wouldn't recommend it to family/friends - but its served me well (so far). With Qantas/Virgin I rely more on my status than having booked direct for them to look after me. Internationally - I'm happy to take the risk I guess
Do you prefer booking directly or via third-party sites?

I do most of my CX flight bookings via Trip.com, because there are a lot of hidden cheap Business Class fares that if booked directly on Cathay Pacific, you won't get Business Class all the way.
