Sorry, between those 2 lines in case it wasn't clear- so CNS, probably TSV/ASP, AKL/WEL/CHC, Norfolk island, etc

NOU (Noumea) is in the zone.
You can often get cheap J fares there because its international.

Double points if you don’t need the future credits

I have experienced this same dilemma previously and also contacted the box office to fix it. Four of myself cannot attend the same movie at the same time, regardless of whether it is a double feature or not!

OP was pondering CRs (as PC/PC+). No need to rely on sales or movie tickets.

IME, TT J CRs aren’t the best SC/pts earners. Haven’t looked a NOU, but you’ve then got to contend with high costs once there.

Yep , i am on it.

I booked MEL-BNE-CNS return on a public holiday long weekend. 480 SCs at $3.33 per SC sounded ok to me.

Oh nice. I should see if a deal like that is still available before Points Club is no more. If I decide to try and retain Points Club as I am WP that would get all the 20k flying points from the one trip.

I nabbed the same for Jan school holidays. Miss TomCat is rather annoyed I wont take her with me but I don't want to spend those $$ on her (she's 7)

Yes but it is one of the few places in the world where you can scuba dive on coral reefs AND speak French!

If I have points club and I book a CR for after the December date, I should still get status credits (doubled) on that trip right?

Assuming you still have PC at the time of travel, then yes.

The better question could be what combination of cities fall into that combined range with the maximum number of stops?

We have only made 2 bookings for this promo - a CR trip to/from BNE in April 27 and a paid trip to/from BNE in Jun 27. I already have a lot of previous DSC offer flights still to fly.

Question for the group.

I purchased flexible movie tickets during the Sept 2025 release, and utilised them to view a different movie (viewing on 27th Aug 26). In retrospect when I review the TnC from Sept 2025 ticket release, it says for travel between 2th Sept 25 - 22nd Aug 26.

Should I be still expecting the double viewing rate? or have I made a hash of it?

Unfortunately you flew outside the promo period, so no double.

It's a good question, and the answer, I think, is very few (that are actually bookable at the through rate).

However, I do seem to have found one from my home airport.
