No platinum for the very reason someone stated - its purely not worth the effort. Why introduce it when I imagine there will be only a handful of travelers whom will attain this status and we know it was only introduced to skywards after the QF/EK pair up. How long that will have remained though will of been interesting to know.
My my you do fly an awful lot - do you go to school??
So if it is not worth the fort for them, why do we, even though there are a few only, make the effort to fly Emirates as much as possible? If they couldn't be bothered then why are we?
The other poster brought up an interesting fact though - we pay adult fares but are treated as children. That is quite an annoying thing about airlines...
Yes, I do go to school. And, on top of that, I make the top 10 students academically in the province (about 10 000 000 people). I also came 16th in the Biology world Olympiad. I only fly in the holidays and try my best not to miss school for travel.
I just earn alot as I fly from DUR-DXB for everything - a very long flight itself - and onto LHR about 10 times a year.
I also go to JFK quite often so that boosts it up considerably. I really enjoy travelling (mostly flights though
). Besides, who travels for the the destination anyways?
So I guess I have to wait until 18 just to enjoy the benefits of something we've already invested so much in.
