I've always wondered what kind of perks a PPS member gets, especially those based in Singapore. I'm not referring to travel perks like priority check-in/boarding, lounge access etc, but non-travel perks like special events etc.
As a traveller who flies mainly in economy, PPS is essentially out of reach. Frequent travellers on SQ Y can qualify for Krisflyer Gold, equivalent to Star Gold, which does give you useful travel benefits on SQ and Star Alliance carriers that make frequent travel more tolerable. Which is all good, but forgive me if I still get occasional bouts of PPS envy...
I was recently given a "peek through the curtain" of PPS benefits by my good friend, who is also a frequent traveller, and someone who, together with his globe-trotting spouse, has enjoyed the benefits of (Solitaire) PPS membership for years and years...
PPS members get their own magazine, "Priority", a slick publication with lifestyle and travel articles...
I browsed one issue recently, and it highlighted some of the events organised for PPS members during the year...
...which included a "junior cabin crew experience" for young members, a wine masterclass, and a flight simulator experience.
How cool is that?
Other events organised throught the year by PPS club organisers included movie screenings, and last month, in late June, I tagged along with my friend for one of them, "Transformers : The Last Knight", at GV Great World City...
