I'm platinum, and Australian. Skywards+ doesn't really interest me as I routinely booked paid F from Australia to Africa, Europe, USA and other destinations, travelling at least 5 times a year. Consequently, when I re-commence travelling, I will again get a minimum of 60kg per trip and I will easily exceed the 150K tier miles for platinum. I certainly don't need additional skywards miles. I don't need them for upgrades so I will continue to use them to give my kids reward flights.

For those like m3red who rely on upgrades to F from their employer-provided J ticket, Skywards+ would be advantageous to receive the extra Skywards miles now necessary to obtain those F upgrades, and to get those extra tier miles to retain their gold status. There is an obvious need out there for this service.

But, as seems to happen to platinum members who always book F, there is no incentive to sign up for things like Skywards+. I would love to see something that really inspires those of us in this situation.

It looks like international travel may be possible again from Australia around April/May next year. I will have already pre-purchased at least 3 trips by then, so I'm really looking forward to flying once again in another 8 months or so. I can't wait! First destination is Cape Town!
