Overview of Best Qantas Status Run Options [not the discussion thread]

[Justinf]

Has anyone had the double status credit promo yet? The one where you had to book a few months ago and travel after July 1? I just did my first segment of a status run and the points and credits have appeared but t not double.

Yes. Mine was a two sector trip. The bonus SC credited around 48 hours after the first segment. The bonus SC for the second segment are you to credit, but there was a weekend... so I'll give it another day or so.

Noticed PER to NOU return in J for ~$1100 is on again. Also J fares to NZ from PER for ~$1300 - $1400 return. Not bad little SC earners.

Dates? I can't get it to price anywhere near that. The QF fare page for PER has NOU at $1103 one-way, you're not confusing it with that are you? I've checked QF site, ITA Matrix and Google Flights. What am I missing?

You're missing one really important fact. I'm an idiot Sorry for wasting your (or anyone else's) time. Those are in fact one way, and not return. I'll edit my post.

If it's of any use to others, here's the SC earn rates for the ex BKK sales. THB fares pulled direct from MH and exchange rate used is 1 AUD = 26.09 THB fwiw

Just booked PER - AKL (via MEL there and SYD return) for $1176...

$1176 one way?

 

[travellerqff]

BNE-SYD-CGK (Jakarta) is $1999 Jan '18 right through... 320 SC

 

[Daver6]

$1176 one way?

No, that was the price for a return ticket.

@Moindardt alerted me to this fare... and it's my job to abuse it...

980 SC's return is the maximum I can get to WLG or ZQN if anyone's interested. 1 stopover in each direction permitted as long as it's not in DXB. Max 30 days per stopover.

$3.33 AUD/SC.

PM me for the routing.

How do you get to Cairo and back and what then is the net $$ per SC when taking those extra costs into account?

That would depend on where you might be coming from... this is most ideal for those that might already be in Europe as CAI is easy to get to from Europe.

I'm not suggesting that people fly from AU to CAI just to fly this ticket... but if you were that keen then it'd probably raise the cost to about $5/SC.

Music to our ears good sir.

Around $475 for J class return LGW-xMAD-AGP (also look at vv) for 200 SC. Might be useful for some based in or travelling to Europe.
This one involves an overnight in MAD but there are other options.

Was that quoted in pounds originally? If so, how much in pounds? I was about to pull the trigger on a BA ex LGW for around 170 pounds for 120 SCs. The BA service departs in morning so the overnighter in Madrid is a bit of a killer for someone time pressured

 

[gizzard]

It's in the screenshot, £272.

You could look at going non-stop in one direction and to the trip in a day for fewer SCs if time is a factor.
The fares seem to have gone up since I first posted.

I2 have some decent "business promo" fares between MAD and the Canaries at the moment. I just booked MAD-TCI/LPA-MAD in Feb for €302 - about $460, earns 120 SCs at $3.83 / SC.

Of course you have to get to Madrid first

 

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

I booked a LGW-AGP return for 180 pounds for 120 SCs. Pretty good value I feel!

Opusman I will mention this to my eldest son as he will be living in Madrid for 6 months.

Definitely good value.
BA also offer MAN-xLHR-xMAD-AGP return in J with a few days stay can be bought for around $650 for 240 SC so about double the price and SCs.
Also LGW-xMAD-AGP return for $570 (325 pounds) 200 SCs.
