    Flying Economy is quite okay within Australia. Shorter distances and saves coin for the destination. Being a Gold Class member is icing on the cake. It is very pleasant to be able to take advantage of pre-flight catering. All part of the thrill of travel. Thank you for sharing.

      @@JaydenWong one of the few countries that offers all that.Adelaide-Melbourne either way is always done by plane in my household,we don't have time to spend half a day on trains and from what I heard about the overland way back in the day it is not a trip i would do.

    Nice video, Thanks. What does a gold card cost? Cheers

    • @JaydenWong
      @JaydenWong  5 лет назад

      Thank you for watching Rob! To reach gold, you need 700 status credits (only 600 to retain).
      I fly four times a year from Adelaide to HK (all via east coast cities) and each time I earn 80-110 credits, that around 400 credits. For the rest I need, I mostly earn it from intra-Asian flights with Oneworld airlines

    Another great video, Jayden! Thanks for explaining the perks of elite status on Qantas. In the US, elite status is a huge asset as the airlines charge more and more for what used to be routine services.

    • @JaydenWong
      @JaydenWong  6 лет назад

      Thanks so much, Michael! What annoys me the most is that having elite status does not give you baggage allowance on British Airways (with hand baggage only fare). Well, I know it’s hand baggage only fare, but still, BA is not a low cost carrier!

    • @mba0005
      @mba0005 6 лет назад

      Wow, that is annoying. I didn't realize that. Unfortunately, it seems like BA is moving towards being a LCC more each day.

    Hi One world flyer, yes it's definitely worth being a gold flyer, the seat allocation access to lounge , it's great perks, Qantas are good for the domestic product they have , particularly in these low cost carrier times, great review as always so a big thank you , can't wait for your next review, ps I did not vote Emirates on your vote to pick who you fly with on instragram lol I think I voted Cathay which you love !

    • @JaydenWong
      @JaydenWong  6 лет назад

      Thank you Michael :)
      I think Qantas is doing exceptionally compared to many European carriers when it comes to domestic/short haul flights. And for that voting, I decided Etihad (787, 380 & 330!) because Cathay is too expensive and I’ll be flying Emirates to Thailand anyway 😬

    Thank-you for the video demonstrating some of the esoteric advantages of being a "Gold Card" member with Qantas. It is a shame that many of the elite features once held by lounges for business class and upward passengers are now made available to more passengers. Around the turn of the century, airline lounges used to be a most wonderful spot to get away from all the noise in terminals and concourses, and where delicious food was always available. However, would someone please tell me why there is a stuffed pig toy sitting on a deck chair with a cooler near the taxiway at Adelaide @9:36? It seems that welcoming feature escaped everyone's attention. Thank-you again for the video, Jayden. I look forward to viewing your next productions.

      Thank you for watching! I personally don't think it's worth it unless you often fly internationally with long transits and are eligible to use the Qantas lounge. Domestic club lounges are quite average and I'd rather pay for the restaurant food in the terminal :)

    Domestic flights are EXPENSIVE & we are treated like second class. Meals now NOT included.Pay extra..... As with most people who lost the past 2 years of travel. We were given vouchers to fly. We then had to add an additional cost of $450 to fly. Then told if we want particular seats( ie) aisle or window we have to pay $$ extra! We were allocated those seats & on both occasions, they changed us to sit in the middle & to add further insult then in different isles😖. We were told that they try to place families together. So everyone else is less important! Really? As a married couple, I found that to be insulting & predigest. Add to that bullshit with a an inflated airfare! We are flying with beautiful Singapore to the U.K rtn for $1400. Wonderful.😊Folks we are ALL paying too much to fly in Australia. 😡
