And you have 8 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: no idea what these questions are about or what the 9 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: topic is about. It is just I just want your 10 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: opinions on things. And there is a theme because this 11 00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: week airlines have been in the news big time. Quantuses 12 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: record half year underlying profit, but right for many, the 13 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 1: real story this week is this battle between Quantus and 14 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: Virgin over their loyalty programs. All right, Virgin announced a 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 1: bonus velocity status credit steal want Us, I think returned 16 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,320 Speaker 1: fire with they had double status credits offer for the 17 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,680 Speaker 1: full week, and then they overhould their whole frequent flyer 18 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,360 Speaker 1: system as well when they announce their results. Status credits 19 00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 1: matter to a. 20 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: Lot of people. 21 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,720 Speaker 1: That's like priority boarding, it's higher chance of an upgrade, 22 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: kind of lounge access, all of these kinds of things. 23 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 1: So my five questions for you today are all about 24 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: airlines and status and what matters to you in the 25 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: air and what ticks you off in the air as well. 26 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: Right question number one, Sean, I'll go to you first. 27 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 1: Does a loyalty program have any impact whatsoever on your 28 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: choice of airlines? 29 00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 3: Does it affect which way you go? 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 1: Or are you just booking on cost? 31 00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 3: I'm booking on cost at the margins it did does. So. 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 4: If there's a two thousand dollars flight, mine's nineteen hundred 33 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 4: dollars and one's two thousand dollars and I can get 34 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 4: flying frequently points, I will do that. But I book 35 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 4: on price because I just think you can pay a 36 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 4: lot more by chasing loyalty points. 37 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: Okay, Adam. Does a loyalty program impact your choice at all? 38 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 2: At different times? A lot? And then and then now 39 00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: I've come to agree agree with Sean. I do, yeah, 40 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 2: price first, but you know jet Star or Tiger. I 41 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 2: don't fly a lot, so it pretty much is between 42 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,919 Speaker 2: contestant Virgin and then international can be anyone. But I 43 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,680 Speaker 2: certainly do look at the loyalty points. But I didn't 44 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 2: used to bother for a while and now I do. 45 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 3: Okay, and it depends who's paying, doesn't. 46 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 2: It, It does, It does. In fact, I'm more generous 47 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 2: with my own personal travel than I am with other 48 00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 2: people's money. 49 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,079 Speaker 3: Oh, I'm totally the opposite. 50 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. Ah. 51 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,079 Speaker 1: Sometimes you think you know someone and then they just 52 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: bust out a little anomally like that. That's really interesting, Sean. 53 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: Back to you, loyalty programs, are they airlines real businesses now? 54 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: Because we've seen them grow so much. They have points, 55 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: arrangements with banks, over home loans and mobile phones and 56 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: every single aspect you can imagine. There is now the 57 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 1: opportunity to accrue points and now status credits as well. 58 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: Are we reaching this point where kind of loyalty points 59 00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: become almost a core business, either bigger than or just 60 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: at least alongside. 61 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: But Quantus is open about it. Their frequent fly program 62 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 4: is one of their four core businesses, along with Jetstar International, 63 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 4: Quantis Domestic Qontas. I've never understood the economics of it, 64 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 4: of both sides, but there's real money going to Quantas 65 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: on the back of their frequent fly prems, so absolutely 66 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 4: they are now core businesses. And things like fly bys 67 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 4: and the Woolworth's equivalent. I don't use any of those either, 68 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 4: to be honest, I mean Jackie uses them all the time. 69 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 4: I don't, and I get the benefits of them, but 70 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,040 Speaker 4: because you know, particularly if you're an online shop and 71 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 4: people know what you I mean, I don't. I find 72 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 4: I have a real problem with loyalty programs all around. 73 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 4: But I do understand that quantus particularly that is a core, 74 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 4: fundamental business with real dollars attached, though I do not 75 00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 4: understand the economics from both Sides's too hard for me 76 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 4: to get my head around. 77 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, so you're certainly not one of those people that 78 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 1: is chasing status points, and we talked through the week 79 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: about it. 80 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 3: I have no idea about them. I don't even know 81 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 3: they are. 82 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I've heard them, Adam, do you do 83 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,080 Speaker 1: you pay? Do you even know kind of what your 84 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: status is with an airline? And would would you ever 85 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 1: kind of take if you were one flight away, say 86 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: the Melbourne to Sydney flight away from getting gold status? 87 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: Are you actually aware enough of it to kind of 88 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 1: justify taking that flight? 89 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: Because I got a lifetime goal at some point, and 90 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 2: so that's good. But I've never gone seeking another tier, 91 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,039 Speaker 2: right yeah, Yeah. 92 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: And so no, I've never don't need to when you've 93 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: got a lifetime goal. 94 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's higher you know, always inspirations somewhere to climb. 95 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 1: Okay, I wonder then, and this is now getting into 96 00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: the luxury side of it, because we've got the business 97 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: side of it. Business class, Is it worth it? Do 98 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: you feel like when you have the opportunity for an upgrade, 99 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: and whether it's using points, or whether it's using status, 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: or whether you are just paying for it out of 101 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,599 Speaker 1: your own pocket or a business it is a business 102 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 1: flight and you're heading, do you see business classes being 103 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: worth it? Or is it just mostly theater? 104 00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:00,520 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I'm a firm yes on this one. 105 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,840 Speaker 4: Would you use your own money? I wouldn't use my 106 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 4: own money, I'd use points. 107 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:11,480 Speaker 2: I have done rarely. Yeah. And so you know, the 108 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,799 Speaker 2: expression I think is a really good one. It's not mine. 109 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,360 Speaker 2: But when you flow a business class, the holiday starts 110 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 2: on the plane, and so when you sort of if 111 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: you're really sort of slapping it out and you're trying 112 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 2: to muster children and in your case, Sean, I think 113 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 2: that must be incredible feat with up to eight children traveling, 114 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 2: you know, it's just such an easy thing, and I 115 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: get really restless in confined space. I literally have to 116 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 2: breathe my whole way through it and concentrate every flight. 117 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: But in business, guys like as soon as that little 118 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,840 Speaker 2: ping of a sign, guys, that seat goes back and 119 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 2: I am away. It's brilliant, Adam. 120 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:56,039 Speaker 1: I once caught a flight with you to Perth. Yes, 121 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: And it's always interesting to see what the colleagues that 122 00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: you're traveling. 123 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 3: On a flight. And so I'm like, oh, do we 124 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 3: have to work? 125 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: And you're just no, no, no, no, no, straight and 126 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 1: you were just picked like the most obscure documentary. 127 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 2: That they had. 128 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: On the on the entertainment system. I'm like, okay, that 129 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,960 Speaker 1: that's Adam. That makes perfect sense. And there I was 130 00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: watching a movie because really moved. 131 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 2: Face yeah to hear them again. 132 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: And afterwards you're like, this is fascinating. I'm like, I 133 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 1: don't know whether it would have been, but okay. 134 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,200 Speaker 4: I was at the airport this week because my son 135 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 4: Oliver is moving to Boston, or has moved to Boston, 136 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 4: and only six foot six, he plays rugby. 137 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 3: He's a big, big kid. Turn up there. 138 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 4: It's I don't know what they call it, but Las 139 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 4: Vegas round in the NRL. This weekend, and so the 140 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 4: airport was full of Rugby League supporters heading to Las Vegas. 141 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 4: And ol is a big guy, but wow, some of 142 00:07:55,960 --> 00:08:00,120 Speaker 4: these people were even bigger. And he's the flight. He 143 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,760 Speaker 4: was flying to LA and then onto Boston. But the 144 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: flight was full of people going. 145 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:08,040 Speaker 3: La Vagan and Vegas. He said.

Someone comes 175 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,199 Speaker 4: up and takes a selfie as with Lewis h or 176 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 4: the guy, the actor, and I turned and I said 177 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,199 Speaker 4: to him, clearly, you're more famous than I realized, and 178 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:57,439 Speaker 4: he said, yeah, we're from a show called Suits. I'm 179 00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,800 Speaker 4: all right, yeah, I'm from the newspapers. 180 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 3: By Adam what about you? Best? 181 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 2: Okay? Experience this one started early a right, so nineteen 182 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:17,920 Speaker 2: seventy seven we moved from Sydney to Japan with my 183 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 2: dad's work and we were flowing first class. So you 184 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 2: can imagine two adults and three kids between the ages 185 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,040 Speaker 2: of eight and four, each with the first class seat. 186 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 2: Utterly ridiculous. So my little sister jumping up and down 187 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 2: the chair, what do you do this inn ashtray? 188 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:41,439 Speaker 3: What do you do with this? You know? 189 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 2: And just playing one of our first plane in first 190 00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:48,199 Speaker 2: class British airways. We got to go in the cockpit, 191 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,760 Speaker 2: We got a little pin stick pin of a plane. 192 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,959 Speaker 2: It was like we got all the toys, got to 193 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 2: go on all the rides. It was awesome. 194 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,839 Speaker 1: That is a very tough precedent to set right that 195 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: it's like your first international flight first class outrageous, that 196 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,680 Speaker 1: is extraordinary. All right, we are running out of time, 197 00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,319 Speaker 1: last one. And this is just because I know the 198 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: two of you can get a bit narky at times. 199 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: One piece of flight etiquette that really annoys you. Oh 200 00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 1: is it the seat going back? Is it someone kicking 201 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: your seat? Is it people standing up the moment the 202 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 1: flight lands, even though the doors aren't going to open 203 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,400 Speaker 1: for another twelve minutes or so, and they're already standing 204 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: out like you know what, if you stay seated, everyone's 205 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 1: more comfortable and we'll all get off the plane. No 206 00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: one's going to get off any faster by standing up 207 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: in advance anyway. Sean, have you got a. 208 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: Grite we know Michael's gripes. 209 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I mean the seat going back is always 210 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 4: an irri irritant, but that's just life. It's the person 211 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:57,200 Speaker 4: who's sitting near you who thinks it's important to make 212 00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 4: announcements to the plane about what's going on. 213 00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: Wow, there was some turbulence there.

Just 229 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:54,440 Speaker 2: slamming their bags in taking up everyone else's space so inconsidered. 230 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm with you on that. 231 00:12:56,360 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 2: Ah, I probably channeled a little bit of frustration there. 232 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 1: I tell you and Sean, you and I are flying 233 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: later this week together.
