Finally going to reach Gold!

[markj23]

Have just booked 2 return flights that will get me to 705 SCs and Gold

Just wanted to say thanks to the the great members on here the provide advice on a daily basis

After a long time without flying much, i have had the chance this year to get my bum in a few seats (thanks to work!) and loved every minute of it .. to the bemusement of my wife - i normally hate tight spaces, and having to sit still. I will have managed to accrue 665 SCs since March, mostly due to what i have learnt on here - difference in fare types, having a stop in Brisbane or Sydney (most of my flights are CNS->MEL). I was also able to pass on this advice to a colleague who is 1 JASA away from WP, he only has a week left so not sure if he will get a chance to go for it

Now the fun time of trying to retain status - ill never fly enough to get WP

Congrats Mark.
It's always good to get that extra bit on flights.

I will hopefully catch up to you this year with the advise from this site.
The advise from the guys here have been awesome.

Cheers

Must say same, learnt so much from guys here like Serfty, Medhead and others.

Many pointed me in right direction to get to gold status last month by way of any seat awards.

Now to update your ff prog status to SG. Gold is actually a very good status to be. Especially when you travel overseas. I found retaining it very easy with my normal travel pattern and followed some advise from the guru's here and am now WP, so never say never ENJOY!
