Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

Some (but not many) - 75% points bonus, priority classic reward access (it might not be revenue J), extra baggage in some cases

Another benefit are potential savings by purchasing J-lite fares on partner airlines (AY, QR and EK), while still obtaining lounge access and checked bags.

and free seat selection.

Just paying a Biz fare doesn’t always cut it these days. BA will charge you several hundred Pounds to select seats in the J cabin if you don’t have status.

QR will leave you wandering the terminal on a Lute fare with no status….

One of the things I find most frustrating with flight travel is all the overhead lockers near my seat already being full when I board. I want to take on my full carry-on allowance and store it near my seat especially on short domestic Y flights. Sometimes QF calls both priority 1 and 2 to board at the same time if there are not many priority 1 passengers on the flight. Gold should be able to find space somewhere near the seat (even if it happens to be a row or two further back or forward) boarding before lots of other passengers get a chance to board.

Gold will get into lounges flying OneWorld airlines in many cases where QANTAS Club will not.

Better availability for J reward seats can help save thousands on booking J. That’s the equivalent of a lot of years of QANTAS club membership fees which keep on getting increased.

True. I got free seat selection on AY on a lite fare (as a OWE) whereas other family members who paid full fare didn't!
