I imagine that due to travel budgets shrinking, and increase in video-conferencing, I'll be lucky to get four sectors a year in the future, once this all stabilises.
Don't think it will be worth it for the return I'd get, now, so I'll be open to flying on other carriers now.
Pretty much concur with what you said. Up until C-19 I was about 25 short haul LHR-GLA and LGW-AGP a year so travelling mostly in Y I would never achieve Silver status except for I do one LH trip a year either SE Asia or US. For me the benefits are Seat Selection, 2nd (If i need to) and obviously the lounge. So thinking that the need to do LHR-GLA will become a lot less as likely I will commute up north less but continue AGP (could be LHR if LGW stops) then I'm beginning to wonder if I shouldnt choose another alliance. That said I'm a sucker for Qatar.
