95SC needed for Partner Gold

[MarkD]

Ive found myself in the situation that Im 95c short of Partner Gold in VA this year with no travel booked or required before my equal date of 16 May 2016. My wife has a couple of solo trips in the next 12 months so it would be nice to gift her Gold. Question for those in the know, whats the best SC Run Ex BNE to achieve 95SC?
Need to do it over next couple of weeks.
Fire away with ideas and thanks in advance.
PS have read SC run thread but my head hurts as some ideas are a bit dated now.

Did you get the double status credit offer from Velocity recently?

If you did and book before the 14th then you only need 50 status credits.

Sadly no, Not in the targeted group (Im Platinum for past 3 years) Thanks for suggestion anyway. Looks like a sneaky lunch in AKL coming up.

Out of curiosity, is the main reason for wanting to gift your wife partner gold so she has access to the lounge? If so you may be better simply buying an annual lounge membership as I suspect you will end up spending more trying to get the 95sc.

Lounge really doesn't have a bearing on it as she doesn't really spend much time there. Its the priority checkin, boarding, security etc, the better seat selection etc. Im sure she will use the lounge, but the other stated items are what she likes most. Just a novelty for her really and after 1205 SC planted exclusively in Y I guess the main reason is a feeling of entitlement on my behalf LOL

Just found KL for under $1000. that will do it, and I can try out SQ A350. Now to find a day or two that suits haha.
I can't help it, I just enjoy flying and A350 is a good excuse, even If I need to sit on an A330 for 8 hrs to get on one.

BNE-MEL-LST-MEL-BNE 100SC's $703.63 in early may on Flexi is okay. Using GJM59 as the promo code.
