Thanks for the clarification. Will give it a go once the restrictions are lifted. Assuming that the restrictions are lifted by end of June then one way of looking at it 1000 staus credits a month i need to earn!

With the six month extension will that also allow you the extra six months in which to maintain status? I am Platinum and my review date is 31 December 2020. With the deposit of 7000 status credits and 30 nights I now stand at around 8000 status credits and 35 nights. With the restrictions i...

Sorry for the late response - given the current circumstances may not be relevant but will still respond. Firstly the Novotel - i am Accor Platinum and had a great experience. Cost of the room was around $145AUD which was a standard room but both times upgraded to their suite which was best...

Have done it in Melbourne twice in the last month. I go and get my luggage first but in Melbourne the lounge is before security. Can not comment if there are any issues in Sydney taking through your checked luggage to the lounge.

Michenny I am also a big guy around the same height but a few extra kilos. Flew back in J with them from Vancouver to Brisbane in May last year on the 350. I also felt a little cramped with the seat fully flat and was more comfortable with the seat about half reclined. Agree that it is an...

Woodborer thanks for the response - have checked the app and it states Platinum but no mention of me being at the highest tier. I have been having problems with the website over the last 2 weeks so this is just another glitch.

I have checked my account after 3 night stay at the Sofitel Darling Harbour. Prior to the stay I was at 13,700 status credits so i wanted to make sure that I had maintained Platinum . Upon checking my account I was suprised to see that I was now Diamond! Congratulations, you’re ALL Diamond! 38...

Yes VA tickets. Going to CHC is VA324 and VA 99 and the return leg is VA96 and VA353

Thank you Denali and MH_Fan for the help!!! Have just booked BNE-MEL-CHC for weekend of 7 February 2020. Business saver only $961.32 return and with the double status credits I calculate that will give me 520 status credits which should get me to platinum. I normally fly BNE-MEL in economy and...

MH_Fan many thanks for that. Unfortunatley i live in Brisbane so that will not work for me. Great status credit run for those for who it would work. I suppose i could fly to Melbourne and then start it. Was it in J or economy and what time of the years was it?

MH_fan can you let us know what trip you booked for under a $1100 for 760sc? I would really appreciate it.

QF that's a shame. It is a great experience to dine in the committee room. Have only done it once before and took guests from England who had a great time. Still undecided about where to go for the status run. Will wait for the specials tomorrow night to see if any bargains. For those...

Thanks KLM. Would never have thought of doing something like that. I am warming to Ade's suggestion of a lunch in Melbourne on my own. I am a MCC member so a lunch on a Friday in the Committee Room at the MCG sounds good. Any one care to join me? Will post details of my condition after I...

Now looking at Cairns. Elevate return for around $380 each for 80 status credits for the two of us. Would then rely on fly buys for the remaining 4 status credits

Ade thanks for going to the trouble of doing the searches. I had been going through previous posts and came across the ITA Matrix. Will have to learn how to use that. Melbourne in J looks good just for me which will be enough status credits. Don't know how would sell that to the wife!

Hi I currently have 416 status credits. Use Family Pooling with my wife. We are in Brisbane. Will lose some status credits in early December 2019 before our next flight on 13 December which is only to Sydney. Would appreciate any suggestions or advice if there are any sweet spots in getting...

Just had a return flight with CI Brisbane to Vancouver. Would not hesitate flying with them again. And also to visit Taipei again!

Dr Ralph we flew China Airlines Brisbane to Vancouver return and had an 18 hour stop over each way. We flew PE on the flights to Vancouver and J on the return flight. As you ask about the lounge I would expect you are travelling in J. We found the seats on the 350 very comfortable in the upright...

Another recoomendation for China Airlines. Writing this post from Canmore Canada. Since 2012 our international trips have mostly been J redemptions on SQ but wanted to save our points we have left so had to pay for the return flight to Canada for this trip. Decided on PE with CI and booked...
