Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

Yes for sure. If also VA regulars lose out on say lounge access (we all know other methods are available to get) but find that QF are price competitive and also give you a meal on board in the price of the ticket it will change attitudes.

Yes, that's a very realistic view. As for me, I'll enjoy the benefits of Plat for another 15 months (only Row 3 and fly ahead are relevant to me), while flying VA infrequently (only when it's the best price/schedule) and only when it's in the lowest Y class available. Lifetime UA Plat gives me lounge access in any event.

It could have been so much better for everyone (well apart from those whose employers pay for everything), but Bain and Qatar have screwed it up for everyone else. But no one should be surprised looking at the track records of both these parties.

I have gradually fallen back to red and I think that is where I will remain for the foreseeable future.

In the red for VA but in the black for QF
