Hey guys,
I am just starting out and have been skimming through this thread and I can see there is a lot of good advice here! However I noticed it is mainly for Domestic travel, but am hoping I would be able to get some help with an upcoming trip I am hoping to take to Europe. As of May 5th I will have 100 Status Credits, with a planned trip to Queenstown planned (but not purchased as yet) in July, my trip to europe is aimed for around February 6th/10th until 21st/24th. My destination is London and obviously I would like the best value for money status credits and I'll be hoping I can then plan other tactical trips before then to maximise how the status credits will get used for membership upgrade.
The reseach I have done so far suggests that the best value seems to be booking the 1 journey in premium economy to London (flying out on a tuesday both directions) with a stop in abu dhabi, I believe this will give me 150 status credits for approx $3100. However the trips between Abu Dhabi and London I believe I will be seated in Economy as Etihad does not have a premium economy section?
Anyway, I was hoping some more experienced flyers/researchers could help me out please with any other possible good value ways to get status credits, it would be greatly appreciated.
the thing is, there is a level of competition at OOL, see discount code thread.
For late April the cheapest MEL-BNE flexi is $349, MEL-OOL is$235 & MEL-xSYD-OOL is $261.
The former two earn 30 SC's, the latter 40 SC's.
Took your advice and booked this to OOL - MEL- xSYD (flexi) but I was told that if its on the same booking you only get status from OOL-MEL regardless of change of flight.
Is that correct or am I looking forward to 40 SC's

Hey guys,
I need some advice about SC earned on the Perth - coughet sector in J.
The Velocity calculator states it is 3004 miles which should mean 120 SC.
But I note that it also has a clause stating that these distances are only estimates.
I want to make sure that it is 120 SC as it is close to the 3001 miles threshold.
Has anyone travelled this route and can confirm this?
Thanks
I'm going to fall 30 short of Gold by June 14. I am based in Sydney, can any of you lovely folks suggest the best bang for your buck destination that will give me 30 points.

SYD-MKY-SYD , SYD-TSV-SYD , SYD-CNS-SYD will pick you up 30 SC on a Saver Lite Fare.
It might be cheaper to actually do the above routing via BNE . It will mean 4 flights and will net you 40 SC.
Another option that may be worth a look is doing a SYD-OOL-MEL-SYD or vv on Saver Lite fares . There is usually good value when you do any routings via OOL
For example, my Plat account shows:Upgrading to Gold membership
Each day we will assess your membership for an upgrade based on the number of Status Credits earned and Eligible Sectors flown in the previous 12 months. As soon as your Status Credit balance reaches 500 and you have flown 4 Eligible Sectors you will automatically upgrade to Gold membership.
