First post - n00b question - maximise status credits to SEA

[dfcatch]

Also, you can't do a SFO-LAX-SEA-LAX-SFO in a single day anymore as the connection in SEA is too tight; it use to be possible though. SEA-LAX-SFO-LAX-SEA is doable in a single day though (if you were thinking about doing it in a single run, just pointing it out).

Hey drewbles,

Just looking at this for Feb 2011 and it looks like u can do SFO-LAX-SEA-LAX-SFO in a day:

SFO 0735 - LAX 0905
LAX 1045 - SEA 1327
SEA 1510 - LAX 1747
LAX 1905 - SFO 2030

Although there is a warning on the LAX connection time in the evening..??..??
What do you think?

Ahh it's back. That's the one I did last year. Until end of this year the turnaround in SEA was 25-35 minutes. The warning would most likely be a terminal change warning not a time warning. If it's all on the same ticket, you'll be protected. This is a full F fare for this route.

It's showing a time warning and a terminal change warning.

I'm assuming it's the evening LAX connection - but I'm thinking it would be ok.....

So how quickly do the status points go through if you've added your QFF number to the booking?

Also, it's a bit disappointing that you can't enter the Admirals Club with an AA F ticket, yet you can easily get into AS Board Room on the same itenary.

Points typically credit from AA to QF twice a week, so within ~72 hours or so after the flight i've found. I've never had to manually chase up AA flights, but I know that some have. If you've not seen anything a week or so after, call up QF and submit your documentation.

Points have come through, I'm now a SG, with another 635 to WP.

Thanks to all who helped me in this thread. Am contemplating doing a BNE-NAN J run in Feb or Mar if I'm a few hundred SC's away from WP, but I should be doing weekly MEL-BNE runs that will net me 15+30 each time, so should be fine.
