Speaking of which, I was just thinking what are the chances that EK introduces two more tiers instead of just one as is being expected by most people. A Gold+ at 100k which matches Qantas platinum and a Platinum at 250K+ or higher that matches Qantas Platinum One? I think the equivalent mileage requirements for EK may be lower as Qantas does not have the saver/flex concept in J and F - they only seem to have discounted economy which earns half the miles as a regular economy/ premium economy....Maybe 200K tier miles for platinum
