Hello,
I have realised that I will fly enough in a twelve month period to get Platinum with one airline or Gold on both Virgin and Qantas. This has started me thinking, are the benefits from going from Gold to Platinum with Virgin, (my most frequent airline) superior to hedging my bets and being Gold with both airlines, ie complimentary access to lounge and priority seating with both etc.
I guess I'm trying to work out the value from the new Virgin Platinum to ascertain whether the improvements in the offering from Gold to Platinum outweighs the ability to have Gold on both as approximately 1000 status credits can get you either Platinum on one or Gold on two.
I prefer Virgin personally so I hope the new benefits make it worth me being exclusive as opposed to splitting my travel down the middle. Any thoughts from the well travelled readers would be appreciated.
I currently have lounge access to both, but the company pays for the Qantas, and personally I find the Virgin lounge much better. Thanks
