Sorry to dig up my own old thread but I just thought that I would pass on that I made it!
A couple of trips to see family in Launceston (via Melbourne) and Melbourne, some extra work trips to Darwin and Rockhampton, a holiday with the missus to Ayres Rock (via Alice Springs with an op up on the way home) and a final hoorah of a holiday to coughet flying J* Starclass.
I well and truly made it without having to do any flights just for the sake of earning SC's. Although I did get questioned by the missus why we fly via Melbourne to get to Launceston when we could go direct and the same for Ayres Rock via Alice Springs.
Now I just need to get a look in the F lounge...
If you fly any OneWorld airline (will be from Sydney), does that get you access to the F Lounge or must it be Qantas? Does it work for J* International too? So much to learn.
In Darwin at the moment so my next flight will be back to Sydney but I am looking at the LAN J sale to Auckland for a weekend away and later this year taking advantage of the QF PE sale to LAX (only 45000 to upgrade to J and would hopefully get it.
Thanks once again for all your advice and like I have said previously, I travel alone for work so happy to host into Syd J lounge and Darwin QP if the dates align.
