Given the upcoming changes to QF/AA earn rate, it seems like there's no better time to do a 'little' trip to requal WP.

Requirements:


  • Travel before 1 May (ideally March - early April)
  • 800sc+ (I know...)
  • Premium cabins for the intra-US legs (which given the required SC earn is a given) and ideally layflat for any substantial legs
  • Total budget 2500-3000 (for both intra-US and positioning)
  • Schedule can be as punishing as it needs to be! Prefer to minimise hotel time. However I'll need some background on the impact of connection changes etc on SC earn.

Of course I am open to other suggestions to achieve the same goal.

Incentive

$49 for solutions that address all requirements (and are closer to $2500 than $3000)
$59 for a route that meets my sc/budget needs but can be booked after 1 May (Ideally June). I do not fully understand the earn tables, but it seems some routes will not be affected by the announced changes.

Per the board rules, incentive will be offered when I 'use' (book) the offered solution. For solutions offered that aren't used, I will gladly buy you a coffee via one of those apps.


Thanks for the help!
