So here are my thoughts, I have personally had all of Qatars statuses, and for me, silver is the holy grail, if you are someone that loves to travel and NOT spend your days in lounges, then Qatar silver is the place to be…
priority check in, priority boarding, lounge access.. what more would you want???
free seat. Selection? Well I’d agree this is the one and only major difference between silver, gold and … and platinum.
yes, you forgo Doha meet and greet, which nobody I know ever used, and if your lugging your life on your back you lose suitcases… but for the average joe soap , silver is the sweet spot, I’m currently platinum, for the first time in 3 years, but I won’t ever chase it again.
