airline status

Any help or thoughts. Looking ot book SFO to JAC in mid May in first. On AA (19/5/23) its AA9414 operated by AlaskaSkyWest, and on Alaska its Alaska 3360. Which is the best bet, does it affect status credits. How many QF status credits will I get, and does the way its booked matter. Many...

Etihad Guest is making a bunch of loyalty program changes, expected to take effect from June. Some of the changes include: New award chart pricing (according to the airline, 70-80% of redemptions will become cheaper... we'll see) A new Diamond status tier above Platinum New personalised elite...

Looks like this offer is back for another round: Get up to 120,000 bonus Velocity Points, plus choose your own exclusive benefit* apply by 31 March for your choice of an additional 30k points or 200 SCs.

Big news from BAEC today. From April 1st 2025 everyone will be on the same calendar anniversary. Starting 1st April and ending 31st March the following year. Changes To Your Tier Point Collection Period Won’t make much difference to me as I think mine is on those dates already. Adjustments...

For those of you who've lost their elite status since all the airlines & hotels stopped giving free COVID extensions... how did you feel about this? Were you sad to drop down to a lower tier? Relieved to be off the hamster wheel? Indifferent? 🤔 And what's your plan now - will you try to earn...

First time post question like this, bear with me if this is too naive. Let's say I woud like to book, from CX website directly, and quote my QF membership. Will I earn status credit and ff points, and how many status / points could I have? CX140, CX960, CX959 and CX171 are all market as CX and...

My platinum VA status is up for review in early February - but I've done little travel this year so there's no chance it'll be maintained (580 SCs needed in just over a month) and so I'll be back to Gold. However I do have a return flight to Europe on Qatar Airways where I can earn either...

I've got two trips booked for my next membership year: 1. Canberra to Wellington return in Y 2. Sydney to Helsinki to Melbourne in J on QF and AY These will earn me 70 and 480 SC respectively, putting me within easy requal reach of retaining SG with an Adelaide trip later in the year. Little...

Royal Jordanian has launched a status match promotion. They're part of Oneworld so it would be a nice shortcut to Oneworld Sapphire status. Unfortunately, it's only available to residents of certain countries and frequent flyers of certain airlines - mainly in Europe and the Middle East. And...

This seems to have changed earlier this year, but I hadn't previously noticed. To earn Emirates Platinum status, you need to earn 150,000 Tier Miles in a year and, as a new requirement, also take at least one flight in Business or First Class...

Hi all I currently have an inter europe LHR to MUC flight on a BA 'M' selling class fare and wanted to double check if I will earn QFF status credits if I have linked my QFF number to this booking? The QFF calculator does say 10 status credits. But I am unable to map 'M' selling class to the...

After a few years of not having to worry about status credit, the game is on again. I noticed that there were signficant changes to discourage people flying partner airlines. For example, I looked at CX HKG-DXB flights. Flexible economy = 0 status credit. As a lifetime gold member, I am...

Hi All, have searched on this one but can't find anything. I'm Life Time Silver and have just gone past my annual anniversary date where was expecting my balance of 550 SCs to go back to zero. Logging in today, I still have 550 SCs and now 11 months, 3 weeks, 6 days to get another 150 SCs to...

Good evening all, Just asking for a friend, does anyone have a clue when the next Qantas DSC can/will happen? Kinda remember pre covid they had one around late Sept/Early Oct. Thanks.

Checked the QFF App this morning. Nice surprise, thank you gift, mine was a choice of 75 status credits or 5000 points.

VA has launched a new status match offer today for Gold or higher members with "any other Australian frequent flyer program" - in other words, Qantas. It's apparently to celebrate the launch of its new partnership with Luxury Escapes. You'll get 3 months of Discover Gold and can get a further...

In general, do you think airlines should make it easier, harder or the same as it is now to earn status? On one hand, it's nice when status is easy to earn because it's more accessible. On the other hand, when more people have status, the benefits can become diluted, lounges get overcrowded and...

Just a suggestion, can we add oneworld/star alliance/skyteam status levels in addition to just QF & VA? A lot of members have their status in these programs and it would make it easier when offering advice to them.

Quick question (hopefully) on booking flights with Fiji Air as I've got a couple of trips to North America coming up and find that Fiji offers the best fare on the dates I want to travel: When booking via the Fiji website they offer a number of Fare classes (i.e. Lite, etc.) but doesn't show...

Hi all, Thanks for your help! I am currently Gold QFF, hoping to get Platinum this year with the DSC promotion. Last day of membership is 30th April. I fly J from Tokyo-Syd dep 20:00 on 30th April, landing in Syd on 1st May. My question is - will this be credited to the 30th April, or the 1st...
