| Breaking
up with Qantas |
After
11 years as a loyal Platinum frequent flyer,
earning enough status credits to reach
Lifetime Gold almost twice over, our member
Pleb Status has decided to
call it a day. For this member, it's no
longer worthwhile maintaining loyalty to the
flying kangaroo.
Pleb Status admits that
they will miss the First class lounge
access. But being based in Perth, other
airlines offer a superior range of
international destinations. As a self-funded
traveller, our member also estimates that
they've saved over $25,000 over the past 3
years by flying other airlines.

Bundle are twofold. On one
hand, some of the
flexibility has been
removed. It is now only
possible to make flight
changes prior to airport
check-in opening. This
occurs two hours before the
scheduled departure for more...

points can be a real
challenge. Finding reward
flights to Honolulu is
notoriously difficult,
particularly in Business
class. And given its
popularity as a family
holiday destination, it's
especially difficult to
redeem points to Hawaii

show in the service. AFF
