Silver Frequent Flyer
Published April 3rd, 2007 in Travel
I’m so proud to have reached Silver Qantas Frequent Flyer status. It may not be much, but I feel like I have achieved something :)
Just one of the perks of business travel, although I wish I was going somewhere more exciting than Canberra or Brisbane. Melbourne and Adelaide are less frequent, and thus a bit more exciting. I haven’t been to go to Perth yet, but I have a few tricks up my sleeve. Darwin is probably never going to happen, nor is Hobart, but at least I have been to both in the past.
I have just over a year to earn enough points to keep my Silver status, which may not be that easy so I’d better make the most of it. So what does Silver get me? Well I get a silver coloured card, plus:
- more status points each time I fly
- priority check-in
- priority standby
- an extra 10kg luggage on USA trips
- an extra piece of luggage on domestic flights
- preferred seating
- membership baggage tags (!)
Awesome. But best of all I get complimentary Qantas Club invitation, so I can rub shoulders (literally in the case of the Canberra lounge) with other members and get free drinks and nibbles!
ps: I might get a bit of a top-up to my points with two trips to the USA, but that’s not confirmed yet.

Pat,
If you are going to use one of my images, please credit it. Otherwise remove it. I would have thought from your involvement in web design, you would have been particularly sensitive to issues involving copyright.
Thanks and regards,
Steve Leadenham

Apologies Steve, I found the image via a Google images search and hadn’t realised it was actually a piece of original artwork (your work is extremely realistic!).
I have changed the image to make use of one from Boeing instead. Additionally, I encourage anyone reading this to visit Steve Leadenham’s Transport Art.
Thanks for the response, Pat. And thanks for the plug! My only concern was that the image, if used, be credited. The new one looks good though!
Regards,
Steve Leadenham
