Q+A: The Week Ahead | 2 Mar 2026

This week on Fear & Greed Q&A, Michael puts Sean and Adam on the spot with five rapid-fire questions — no notice, no prep — all about airlines, loyalty programs, business class, and the little things that make flying either a joy… or deeply irritating.

With Qantas reporting record profits and the loyalty program battle with Virgin heating up, the trio unpack whether points actually influence booking decisions, whether airline loyalty is now the real business of aviation, and if business class is worth the splurge.

They also share their best-ever flight experiences (including a first-class surprise upgrade and a childhood trip that set the bar impossibly high), before a candid look at modern flight etiquette — from overhead locker offenders to mid-air commentators.
