There are a few times when there is no Business offered, just back from Tonga and had to go Works Deluxe out and Bus back.
Fiji next month and Hawaii in June are both Bus each way.
Status helps when there is a problem and also for domestic flights.
They lost our bags coming back from Tonga and I am sure Status helped sort that out.
It didn't help with getting through immigration and MPI though after loosing an hour of our 2 hour connection time.
In the past we have used APD for my wife's travel and she has lost status but needs the status for when she travels without me so using them for Resort bookings was the best solution.
We have been sorted though so again status and our purchase history has helped.
