Overview of Best Qantas Status Run Options [not the discussion thread]

[clod]

Coolio, I can see the fares on the MH site but not on Matrix. I thought that Matrix was the best way to find fares but maybe not. I suppose the question regarding the difference belongs in another thread.

QF have a Bali sale on at the moment, allowing MEL-SYD-DPS return for approx $1860 or $5.81/SC, netting total 320 SC's.

Also MEL-SYD-NOU return in J for $1,186 and 200 SC ($5.93/SC).

Yep, they show up on Google Flights. Unfortunately the J fares need a stay in Denpasar to remain on the value side of the ledger and I'm very time poor for frivolous activities like status runs haha. Thanks for the tip @whatmeworry. The search continues...

Also MEL-SYD-NOU return in J for $1,186 and 200 SC ($5.93/SC).

Even better, MEL-BNE-NOU return in J for the same price. 240SC @ $4.93/SC

Forty status credits more but a coughpy F lounge. Forty status credits less and a great F lounge.

Hmmm.

Is this a sale or limited to particular dates?

As SG I'd rather the extra 40 SC!

It's a sale at the moment, widely available for departure until December 31.
I agree re: F lounge! That's why I always fly to NOU via SYD.

Looks like you'll just have to do both then.

As posted on FlyerTalk MH has a J sale ex-SIN.

SIN-KUL-TPE gives 240 SCs in Business (return), right?
SIN-KUL-NRT gives 280 SCs... PER is the same.
SIN-KUL-SYD gives 320 SCs...
SIN-KUL-LHR, gives 400 SCs...

 

[annielee]

i think the SC to AU and LHR only in the Flexi Econ rate for MH.. so its not that great if you are chasing Qantas SC..(if im not wrong)

SIN-KUL-TPE gives 240 SCs in Business (return), right?
SIN-KUL-NRT gives 280 SCs... PER is the same.
SIN-KUL-SYD gives 320 SCs...
SIN-KUL-LHR, gives 400 SCs...

lol SIN - KUL - SYD is 50SC one way in J with MH

Oops. Forgot about that "exception". Only useful for running around in Asia, then.

SIN-KUL-PER only earns 110 return. SIN-KUL-PER on a JL codeshare earns 280. "Fairer and simpler".

Cross posting from the discussion thread (intended to post it here originally!)

Not the most amazing $/SC, but I've found ex-KUL J fares on JAL can be had for reasonable prices if anyone's planning a trip to Japan.

e.g. KUL-xSIN-HND(stop)-OKA return is $1500-$1700 return and earns 300SC.

KUL-SIN on MH 737
SIN-HND on JAL 777-200 (SS3 flat bed)
HND-OKA on JAL 777/767 (Class J)

Stopovers possible in Osaka and Nagoya also (I'm doing a stop in Tokyo one way and Osaka the other). Also works well to CTS for a trip to the snow! (20SC less than OKA though)

Could marry up well with some MH runs out of KUL. Book/search through JAL's Malaysian website.

Just booked PER - AKL (via MEL there and SYD return) for $1176. With the 50% SC bonus that gets me 480 SC at 2.45 $/SC.

Plenty of options at the moment in July.
