for reference, my match to HH took well over 20 days, and after contact velocity, was sent a email form followed by a phone call and then a few days later HH status upgrade.

My first lot came in quick, flew wed, bonus status posted today.

pretty good deal for buying AA points for redemptions on QF or QR AA Launches Cyber Monday Promotion With Up to 80% Bonus Miles

A huge thank you to all the brilliant folk on his site who gave me some great advice and tips on getting the most amount of status credits by using the famous "why fly direct when you can connect" method. Have now reached gold and looking forward to platinum now. This is addictive :)

now with the news that AC is parting with Aeroplan and forming its own FF programme, any thoughts on what can be improved compared to aeroplan?

also ask nicely when checking it at westjet counter for complimentary or paid upgrade to a seat in Plus. Sometimes, its only 40CAD :) https://www.westjet.com/en-ca/travel-info/check-in/options/plus-upgrade

Hi QF3/QF4 - J fare SYD - HNL - SYD yeilds 320 status credits and 2 segments - under DSC, you got 640 QF5/QF6 - J far SYD - SIN - SYD yeilds 240 status credit and 2 segments congrats, thats gold status, and as you fly J anyway, your real benefit would be the 75% more Qantas Points per flight...

agree, but *A gold passengers get mostly the same benefits as Altitude status: https://altitude.aircanada.com/status/program-privileges

Had a couple of WJ flights earlier this month, YYZ- YVR (premium economy - they call it plus) and YVR - LAX (economy). Both on 738s. Domestic route had tablets or BYOD using westjet app and international route had seat back screens. On time flights and very nice flight attendants. I read...

Agree with MattG, fly AC and credit to another *A partner, I used to credit to Aegean before they placed the segment restrictions.

cool, 2 aircraft, 2 legs, same flight number, so usually how heavy is the passenger load from LAX to JFK if the flights are only sold as an inward connecting flight (stopover permitted)?

Most times for my syd-mel and back treks on 332 have been the upgraded aircraft. Last trip syd-per a few months ago, used points for business and had the new suites, very impressive.

Seriously? I thought WP and P1's service is more personalised, like a concierge service?

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! [not the discussion thread] congrats mate, something for me to look forward to...
