I'm putting together (for Fairfax Media) an article on status runs: partly referencing the 'strange novelty' and unique appeal of this curious (to the outsider) activity, but also seeking to open the eyes of some actual business travellers and semi-frequent flyers (not point-heads like us!) to the status run as a useful option for retaining / boosting status with Qantas and Virgin Australia.
I'd appreciate hearing thoughts from anybody here on their suggestions of a few good status runs and some real-world tips for same, and I'm especially interested in hearing from anybody who might like to be interviewed for the article... however, you'll need to be cool with my using your real name AND you'll need to qualify as a 'normal' person / business traveller who uses status runs to top up their status or nudge up into the next tier, rather than a points / aviation enthusiast who chases status with extensive runs just for their own sake.
