I've only just eased in. I am PER based.

Up until the middle of last year I was Oneworld focussed. Most of my leisure earning was done on QR and some employer stuff on QF. I currently sit Silver with about 120K miles in QR (QF about 60K).

My leisure travel habits are shotstay travel to Bali about 2 times a year, and one biggie to Europe or beyond.

So last years midlife crisis, I was looking for QF flights out of PER to Asia - there wasn't any ! (but now I think there is one 737 flight to SIN). The aim is to use miles with regional international, either straight up Biz. or upgrade from Y.

So my thinking took me to Virgin. I'll use their Bali service to utilise my Miles. I'm now Velocity silver and 50K (some recent Bali flights and EY flights on the last biggie).

You got it. Virgin is ceasing it's International flights out of PER. Their timeslots have been passed to Tigerair, which has no Biz class.

What to do into the future ? Any thoughts ?
