[Nikk1313]

Hi all, I am trying to earn 200 Status credits to maintain my status, looking at flights from London to Amman Business, finding it very hard to work out home many status credits this will generate and there for if i need to do fully flexible and pay more to get additional status credits. Any advice gratefully received.
Thanks

When does your membership year end when are you looking at flying? Are you based in the UK, so looking at routes from there? Is the trip that you’ve proposed for a return trip or one-way?

Nick, have you tried the calculator @ https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/calculators.html

RJ and BA both show the same result in J, 80SC each way, one leg in F if you can find it will net a total of 200. Alternatively starting from Paris via LHR is 100 each way.

Starting-ending in say MAN, EDI or where ever, so another segment, should push up the SC.

Then the calculator.
No F class for UK EU flights

Go visit Barcelona via Madrid in Business Return. That should be 200 SC.

Agree that 4 segments should/could earn more than 2, but check the earnings per segment.
LHR-xyz-abc-xyz-LHR vs LHR-abc-LHR.

Its also the cost. Its one of the cheapest SC per $ you can find last i looked. Way below even some of the cheapest DSC boosted earn rates.

and by not starting the UK, might actually be cheaper option too, possibly also funding getting to Paris or similar Eu starting point.

Or EDI….?

Or EDI….?

while starting at EDI may reduce the APD payable, BA often has cheaper fares commencing from UE countries other than the UK, especially where there is competition from another carrier with non-stop service from their home port. So its worth looking at several options such as CDG, AMS, FRA, ZRH etc.

Yes, absolutely! But I saw quite recently a mention of (pretty sure) EDI-MAD-xx_ (somewhere else in Spain - don’t recall) being one the best runs around both for BA TPs but would work well with QFF and others.

I’ll see if I can track it down.

Don't forget you need 4 flights on QF metal as well as the SCs.

The missing port is PMI - from the Qantas Status Run Master thread.

Yes, that was in the back of my mind and I couldn’t recall if it was via LHR (which it is), which probably explains why the QF calc didn’t like EDI-MAD.

I’m trying to do an ITA Matrix search to see if there are others but it’s not playing the game tonight….

I'm in the UK currently and wish that I had time to do a quick run to Spain to get another step closer to LTG.
