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

[tdimdad]

Is this the right forum to ask for a status run suggestions? Though, I'm after a creative routing to burn a credit voucher and maximise the SC's earned from it.

Not possible with the $$ proposed even with a double SC offer

Thanks! I always get these two confused when reading but happy to stand corrected.

BA currently has a sale on Club Europe (J) fares from the German speaking countries to the UK. (They seem to be matching the current LH/OS/LX sale fares.)

E.g. you can fly VIE-LHR return in J for €288 (~AUD438) and earn 120 status credits.



Or fly VIE-LHR-GLA return in J from €402 (~AUD611) for 200 status credits.

Inner European and US Domestic flights have always been one of my favourite ways to keep my Qantas status.

Even if it’s not always as good a deal as eye above- nothing e er wrong with jetting around Europe on IB, FY or BA. And likewise, I love AA Domestic “First cleeeess”. I have seen the most amazing perms on those senior AA flight attendants

Alaska has some incredible “F” fares out of SFO for those looking…. For short hops up the coast…

Also, look out for "F" fares on AA between LAX and SEA connecting at ORD or DFW. Not as many as there were a year ago but you'd be surprised at the $/SC.

Does AS F count as F for the purposes of SCs or does it count as J?

No, it's treated as J unfortunately. However. On the positive side, the chocolate chip cookies served in the AS F cabin are delicious!

I flew SOF-LHR in J recently for an incredible non-sale price of AUD265. If I'd credited to Qantas, I would have earned 1375 points or 3.3% of the points needed for an Australian J transcon (41.5K). I instead credited to Alaska where I earned 3175 or 15.8% of the cost for the same award (20K).
