We are delighted to confirm that your status equates to Star Alliance Silver. This status recognises that you are a frequent traveller on the Star Alliance network and flown regularly with our member airlines. You are entitled to the Star Alliance Silver Status benefits. Keep flying and you could make it to Alliance Gold status soon!

Apologies--I'm humbled and stand corrected. I remembered that one of the Altitude statuses started with P instead of E, and didn't lookup *S.

In fairness, on the flight manifests I have seen, even P25k ranks higher than 90% of kettles or occasional flyers.

I've had some of the same dilema myself when I do a high eup cost upgrade then the cabin gets filled with opups due to oversell. I just reassure myself all it takes is one single no-show and I am suffering in economy.
