When my family travels, I don't believe we do it at all with status in mind. In fact, from a safety/opsec standpoint, I try to keep my travel entirely a secret until after it's completed.
If you look at the cars we drive (a 2005 Honda CR-V and a 2015 Nissan LEAF), I doubt any significant status is accruing to us from those choices. [I am much more often asked "why do you still drive cars like this?!" than "Oooh, nice car!"]
My ideal condition would be to have assets that would be able to provide a fully secure income stream in retirement but for no stranger to be able to reasonably guess that we have that.
