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.

QFF Platinum requesting release of extra Classic Reward seats?

View an article on this topic: https://www.australianfrequentflyer.com.au/qantas-platinum-extra-reward-seats/ Was looking through Frequent Flyer - Flying Qantas and Partner Airlines - Status Credits and Tier Benefits - Tier Benefits today Seems like access to extra Caward seats is only...

This is probably the wrong thread, however I have searched quite a bit and cannot find the answer and it is related to extra SC:

I note on the Jetstar booking site, that MEL-SIN-BKK earns 180 SC in J max, even though the SIN-BKK is economy. Doe anyone have any verification if this earn is correct? Not a bad deal for around $900.

Second question, is there any way to combine a paid fare like this onto a classic reward? IE, paid JQ booking on one PNR with a classic on Emirites? I have tried multi city and did ask the call centre a while back so I presume it is no.

Thankyou

Mr Katie “needs” around 250 SCs ex BNE by mid-July due to my miscalculations. Any suggestions? Erk.

Beer and a grovelling apology?

If PC+ with a double yolker you could look at BNE-CNS (overnight) CNSxMEL-OOLxMEL-BNE.

You could take him to Vanuatu J 120 SC's each way, then send him Y to Sydney for a day @Katie
