Does Status make still any sense?
Hi all, posted only a couple of times before but while traveling today, something got in my mind and there is no better group to share this.
I was at Rome Airport, but it could be any other airport (european at least).
- It is possible to buy fast track access for as little as 7 euro.
- lounges are crowded and food borderline non-eatable, whereas most airports public spaces and dining options have improved. Not to mention that you can buy entry to lounge, if you wish.
Hence, what is left to FT (even gold)? The only real advantage left is priority boarding (when there is not a bus transfer), plus the (very).occasional upgrade.
I ended up asking myself: does it make any sense airline loyalty and status chasing in 2025?
