Qantas Lifetime Silver status, part of the Qantas Frequent Flyer program, is a valuable tier often seen as a step towards Lifetime Gold. However, it offers significant benefits in its own right, not just with Qantas but also across the OneWorld alliance and other partner airlines.
Benefits of being a Qantas Lifetime Silver Member:
- Priority Check-in: Skip the regular economy check-in queue with access to Premium Service Desks on Qantas domestic flights and business class check-in for international flights. This perk extends to OneWorld member airlines and Emirates.
- Extra Checked Baggage: Enjoy increased baggage allowances. For example, Qantas domestic economy flights allow a 32kg bag instead of the standard 23kg. On many international routes with Qantas and Emirates, you get an extra 12kg. Partner airlines like Air France and KLM offer similar perks.
- Complimentary Seat Selection: Waived fees for standard seat selection on international Qantas flights for you and those on the same ticket. OneWorld partners like British Airways also offer free seat selection from seven days before departure.
Additional Perks:
- Earn 50% more Qantas Points on Qantas and Jetstar flights.
- Receive an annual complimentary Qantas lounge pass, usable at domestic and select international lounges.
- Higher priority for points upgrades and customer service calls.
- Occasionally, receive access to extra Classic Flight Reward seats.
To achieve Qantas Lifetime Silver, you need 7,000 status credits, reflecting extensive long-term loyalty.
Tips to fast track receiving Qantas Lifetime Silver Status:
- Choose higher fare classes for more status credits.
- Take advantage of double status credit promotions.
- Opt for status credits instead of points with Loyalty Bonuses.
- Complete the Qantas Green Tier challenge for bonus credits.
- Book Qantas codeshare flights when flying with partner airlines to maximise status credits.
Achieving Lifetime Silver status ensures lifelong benefits and enhances your travel experience across Qantas and its partners.
