Marketing types are a bit of a mystery.

QF/BA/AA/CX equivalent tiers:-
Bronze/Blue/White/Green
Silver/na/Gold/Silver
Gold/Silver/Platinum/Gold
Platinum/Gold/Executive Platinum/Diamond

Makes you dizzy just to look at it.

It's all cultural values and perception... Take HKG-based CX as an example, HK people generally value diamond, platinum and gold very highly (monetary value aside).

Now, I wonder CX diamond's luggage tags are like... A transparent tag but with the information printed on it will be quite cool, I reckon...

The second point is that, without all these levels, this place will be a lot quieter...
