Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

If I miss the first connection I don't know because it effects the remaining 3 flights. The schedule is quite tight trying to do this run in one day

If its all ticked together on the one e ticket, its not your problem

So walk-of-shame ex-DRW today....

CSM: Mr Dfcatch, didn't we just have you on board?

CSM to FA: Mr Dfcatch is back with us.

Upon serving meal:

CSM: Got done everything you needed to? Let me guess - signing some papers in the Qantas Club?

ME: Ummm....yeah....something like that....

CSM: Pretty common for a lot of folks for that.....chicken or beef sir?

Not helped by QF824/5 seeming to have almost a permanent crew!

Yes that thought occurred to me as I 'almost' replied....."especially on this route"

I refrained!!

The status run is for Mrs HarryB and she isn't very adventurous. So I almost talked her around to the same day trip but then I told her some of the walk of shame stories.







She's staying overnight in Townsville.

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

to prevent a walk of shame why not just tell the crew what you are up to on the outbound flight ? that's what I do.

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

I have never done an AA status run before but I'm currently looking at BOS-DCA flights that are somehow going through SEA... My question relates to checked bags. AA.com shows the itinerary as Flight 1 BOS-DFW-SEA arriving at 10:40PM and Flight 2 SEA-DFW-DCA leaving at 11:55 PM. Can I ask the agent to check my bag through to DCA? Do check in staff look at you like you are the biggest loser on earth when you show your itinerary?:shock: Not that I really care about that, I just want to make sure I don't have to recheck my bag in SEA.

This is more a post to jog peoples memory but ex-BNE (as per the OP) at the moment you can do BNE-ROK-MKY return same day on Saturday and Sunday (maybe other days too) for $198.84 in mid Jan to mid March.

That's 40 SC and 4,000 FF points plus lounge entry for entitled pax.

Combined with the 10x FF points on vouchers and you get a lot of points and the SC for not many $$$

So 6000 pts by using the gift voucher. Not bad

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

Don't forget the other 300 points if you used your QANTAS AMEX PLATINUM to buy the vouchers.

I have bought $ 1,000 worth = 12,500 points + points earned (future) on the flights = pretty good.

Mmmmmm would make very nice Christmas presents to family and staff !!

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview!

I normally give my staff a reasonable bonus at Christmas. Because I have been listening to "Macca on AUSTRALIA all over" on the ABC this morningand his promotion of buy Australian I think that as a loyal Australia who wants to foster Australian businesses and wishes to see Qantas survive I might give my staff some Qantas vouchers as part of it ( and pay with my QFF Platinum Amex) together with a holiday voucher at one of the chains I belong to ( room booked in Company name + FF # ) to encourage them to holiday in Australia and spread the love

How altruistic am I ??

Even the staff earning points for me purely as an unintended side benefit !

I feel good now !!!
