Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[JohnK]

I did observe that QFF noticed intra Asia Z class flights on Malaysian were an easy source of QFF SC.
Z class on Malaysian now earns economy SC in QFF......
Somewhat more challenging in setting up local wandering?

I've not been keeping up with news. When did that get enhanced?

I noticed it about a month ago.

Change comes in end of the month. So you have a few weeks...

No intentions of taking extra flights just yet but I've been considering status runs to extend Thai visa past 30 days.

I may just drive across the border into Myanmar and back again.

Anyone managed to obtain LTG recently ?

Congrats. I'm curious if they did anything special for that flight? Did the service director make a special announcement during the flight? Were there balloons and a cake at the Qantas lounge?

You must be joking.

I'm LTG about 4x over and nuthin' happens - as one might reasonably expect. It's hardly a world-shattering milestone.

Surely Qantas must at least issue you a special QFF card that recognizes your lifetime status so that you can flash it in front of gate agents and customer service personnel saying, "Do you know who I am?" Also I seem to recall Qantas announcing pre-boarding for valued Lifetime World Platinum and Lifetime Gold members... in my dreams!

I was given a bottle of champagne by the F lounge in SYD when I reached LTS (after I told them though)...

Dang! I've always been told that my self-promotion abilities 'required attention'...

Not bad! I'm surprised they let Lifetime Silvers into the F lounge. Then again, maybe you were flying in Qantas GlobalFirst?

Maybe for some, but for others, especially those self funded aspirants, it could perhaps provide a sense of achievement and feel a little bit special... I recall the feeling of relief reaching LTG and those golden handcuffs loosening a bit... and realising I rather enjoyed being WP so the cuffs were still attached until I could find another means of maintaining OWE...

Ahahaha. Of course not. Not even received an email with congratulations or acknowledgement.

Now LTP, thats a milestone worth celebrating...

Presumably AIRwin was a WP/P1 at the time.

I should have tried that when I got to LTG.

I'm close, a few yrs of plat to go.

 

[QF WP]

I'm in no hurry to get there, as flying with QF is not on my radar at the moment - haven't since May when they started their decline (done 18 sectors with VA since then as retaining Plat there is much more important):
