The Qantas Status Run Master Thread

That's fantastic if true, and yes I just used the calculator instead of checking the tables. My fault for trusting Qantas IT!

$2.65/SC in that case which is fantastic

Is that with AA or AS ?

AA but I'm also now looking at some domestic AS routes based on your post

Same SC for AA or AS; Qantas status members only get a points loyalty bonus with AA.

I think that I have read somewhere on AFF that a WP can request the QF call centre to make a J points seat available(?) - but can a WP request the call centre to make a Y points seat available? (its a flight operated by a Q300 so no J option).

A WP can request any redemption seat in any cabin to my understanding (and past experience). Needs to be the lower fare classes available I think. More knowledgeable members on the forum can explain the fare classes better.
Request is easy. Success is more challenging.

MIA-CLT-DFW-MEX in J for $575 and its possibly 160 SCs or 220SCs depending on what combination of trust you have in the status calculator vs tables vs reports. So somewhere between $2.88 and $3.65 which is still top tier.

I haven't been able to find any good pricing on transcontinental routes (lots of $5-6/SC) so far so using these more creative ones.
