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

[pandaflyer]

Are those prices for one-way or return?

SFO-xLAX-SEA is either $3.77/SC (one-way) or $1.89/SC (return)
PDX-xPHX-xDCA-JFK is either $3.43/SC (one-way) or $1.72/SC (return)

They were both one way in the middle of February

Right - so unfortunately most AA domestic First now earns Business SC following changes by AA a year or two ago:

First – Travel information – American Airlines

www.aa.com

*Domestic First eligible fare classes are J, D, I, C and U on 2-cabin aircraft.

So the $3.77/SC and $3.43/SC figures would be correct.

Is this in business/first? The last time I did a multi stop like this I only credited at J rates not the F rate.

Yes. Business rate for crediting SC with QFF.

So I can't trust QF's Calculator?

Just enter Business for class of travel, for USA domestic flights on the QF calculator, unless you are flying First Class on 3-cabin transcontinental.

I would suggest re-reading my post.

AA changed the bucket their 2-cabin Domestic First product books into. It now books into Business (J D I C U) instead of First, even though they continue marketing it as First. It's an AA change rather than a QF one.

 

[DC3]

That’s just AA terminology. Domestic ‘First’ is Business for what you are after.

The popular FRA-MAD run in LATAM J will soon be no more. The route is being axed at the end of June in favour of FRA-SCL direct.

Perfectly timed with LATAM's Oneworld exit..

It doesn't really matter from an SC run viewpoint as LATAM leave OW on 1 May 2020.

[L1925]

can anyone confirm if a credit voucher can be used to book flights in the double status credit promo ? Had a cancelled flight some time ago and was issued a voucher with a code to claim.

just don't want to run the risk of not getting the extra status credits

A new PNR would need to be generated during the promo period.

LATAM leaves Oneworld this week though don't they? So can't see it being much use.

They do, but Qantas are crediting SC until 30 September:



Agree it's probably not of much use though - I can't see travel to South America or USA being high on anyone's priority list for a while.

Indeed, I don't believe us BAEC earners have any concessions past Friday either.
