I gave up watching around 6.50 after having started watching from around 5.20. I swear around 5.40 they were about to show it as the music started and the caption said Frequent Flyer for a second but the graphic didnt come up and they went on to do a cash cow bit. i just assumed it wasnt me...

There have been a lot of enhancements over the years. Loss of free exit rows, points devaluation, removal of benefits ect. Some of the reasons I go for DSC and status (was previously QP member) are similar to what others have mentioned. F Lounges are a nice place to relax. The times I have...

I was mainly referring to the instant $1k drop as soon as the promo ended.

The DSC i purchased on Saturday was around $7.6K, by Monday it was $10.2K & now with it all over its at $9.1K. Interesting story this tells.

I have purchased in the past LAS-LAX-SYD on QF codeshares. I did it around this time last year for March. BUt as above, this is off the DSC topic

Yes. Hence why I was thinking now is the time. If they dont work and I have to call up the agent may say I didn't redeem during promo. I can then say I redeemed during second one. Wouldn't that give a better chance?

I'm thinking of using a Feb GV to book something before the end of the year. I would think that either way one of the promotions should apply. Thoughts?

Also several times during this promo. The fare i got for return LHR J was gone up substantially since the promo started. Increased over $2.5k so far. Im sure we will see it drop like anything in a weeks time.

Ive pulled the pin on a LHR J flight next year that should give me enough SC's to retain WP but leave me short on segments. Im sure i can get them though. While i love the experience of flying, lounges & travelling around I would agree flying around for status while fun has its downsides...

So ive booked a DSC J trip to LHR via a travel agent. Going SYD-PER-LHR-SYD Im overnighting in Perth on the last flight out of Sydney. When i go to MMB & CD it shows all my flights are eligible. I select my SYD-PER and "Book Transfer" and it brings up the page to add pick up details. I can also...

Looks like the prices increased for the LHR return flights I was looking at. From 7,800 to 9,100. Ouch! Hope it comes down before it ends. Doubt it though. My plans are out the window now

I think I'm addicted to DSC runs. I've spent a chuck of time trying to find the best flights to book. In the last 2 days I have put J trips together over Easter and ANZAC day from spending a week in LHR to 3 days in LHR and 3 in EDI. Also looked at a NZ itinerary doing SYD - CNS - MEL - CHC...

Thanks for posting. I guess they are changing it up again. Based on the time you posted that means they are showing it before 6am now.

As you are on CX No. Needs to be QF flight to use the lounge.

Im pretty sure the answer is yes to both of these but just wanted to check. If in J on QF9 starting in MEL do you still get CD & If on QF9 in J starting in PER you also can get CD.
