The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

For clarity, when did you fly?

Travelled Oct'24 DCA/DFW/MEL. Flying same sectors in 10 days. Happy to confirm outcome.

I was just looking around. There are some very solid fares intra asia on CX J (mainly exTPE and ex ICN). Estimating the $4-6 ballpark per SC.

Also some very good Intra Europe ones like LON - MAD - BCN.

I think the this must be related to what someone posted a few pages back, EDI-LHR-MAD(?)-PMI return for $2AUD per SC.

If you have 278 days spare next year, you can literally get Lifetime Platinum by flying back and forth between EDI and PMI for $150,000 AUD. Cheapest lifetime OWE by a massive margin. I don't think Lifetime platinum has a QF requirement?

Unfortunately I have neither the funds nor the time to attempt such a feat, nor the necessary visa to enter and exit Schengen 278 times in a year, but I challenge somebody with a bit more free time to give it a go!

These do seem to be the cheapest cost per Qantas SC anywhere in the world - I can't see anyone going nuts to get to Lifetime Platinum, but doing a couple of these trips could reduce the remaining SC's/time required to eventually get to Lifetime Gold for someone who is within a few thousand of reaching there. I will be down to less than 5000 SC's needed very shortly and might take the opportunity to do a couple of these to reduce the target a little further - I haven't calculated how many SC's you get for these but will do later.
