Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

'Switcheroo' in reverse . That's how I went over to Virgin plat when I was fed up with Qantas; I managed to keep VA Plat but also kept QFF Plat! So no 'walking' for me.

That's the exact journey I took. I'm not sure why so many people here refer to the Qantas premium product. If it were, I'd still be flying QF and enjoying my P1 perks. Reality was, the product became very sub premium.

Well, it's a partly perceived premium product. Their die-hard customers love the 'free snacks'/food or free drinks on some routes.
But I totally get your point!

Entertainment, free wifi, plus beer or wine after midday. Little things like in the front cabin, somewhere to hang your jacket or coat. Kids’ play kits!

Luggage lost so regularly that Launceston staff knew my address as they used to drop it off on their way home. Averaged out about 1 in 3 flights I arrived but my luggage didn't. A smaller number of times, but still significant, neither myself nor my luggage arrived at the destination.
Free wine is nice but you can't enjoy it, travelling home on a Friday evening, when you know there's a fair chance you'll shortly be fighting for a hotel room or collecting your luggage before being jammed in a middle seat on Jetstar to complete your journey.

And you're saying that the VA offering is premium? I fly both so I have a valid opinion.
