Which airline status do I focus on if travelling in the Asia Pacific region?

Hey,

Recently been offered a new job role, with lots of travel around APAC region, looking to see who offers the best code share and rewards for the region.

Currently Virgin Aus Platinum but considering changing, star alliance seems to cover the region well but looking for the best airline to support Australian travel and APAC travel.

Hi,

Congrats on the new role!

Do you know where you will likely be based? Still in Australia?

What cities / countries that would be most frequented?

Thanks, based in Melbourne.

India/Nepal is the furtherest northwest, through to china in the east and down to NZ.

Doesn’t quite answer the question but good info regardless.

Where would you usually travel personally? Or have rough plans to travel in the next 1-3 years (while you are in the role). I’m trying to look at where status would generally be beneficial to you.

Star Alliance looks to be the front runner so far.

Yeah Im thinking start Alliance, Kris Flyer possibly.

Personal travel all over the globe to be honest.

Yea. Krisflyer status will give you some Virgin Australia benefits for domestic flights.
