re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I guess in the back of my head I'm flexible with the cost, an extra $70 USD for 60SCs seems worth it to me, but you guys aren't mind readers. I'm at 5942 SC currently so every little bit towards LTS helps too. I had a win last night on my...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks. Certainly a good SC/$ rate on the routing, but lowest total cost of the itinerary that gets me 180SC is more my goal here

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hi guys & gals, back on the "going to the USA with the mrs for a status run thinly disguised as a holiday" band wagon in August. The goal is to leave NY having achieved SG (hence I am doing a run to CNS to get my minimum ~). Missed the 2xSC offer...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Last month I was in SEA and found "Beecher's" in Concourse C did quite an agreeable espresso coffee, for a bonus they also make a great mac'n'cheese. Unsure if they are open at 4am on a Saturday however..

Re: Best Status Run Options - A quick overview! Hello again. The other half has decreed we should visit the US in August for 4 weeks for her birthday so I've scratched my plans of further earns past keeping my silver this membership year (May 31) in favour of a status run in the US. Leaving...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Thanks. I work FIFO so I'm not as restricted to weekends, just when my roster allows me. The QF website is telling me EK flights don't earn SCs, is the trick to book on the EK website and try find a QF number'd flight at a lower rate than the QF...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options I hear ya, and I'm kicking myself for booking what I have booked. I called AA and they wanted $500 to change my inflexible flights around. I only have 3-4 hours in LAX in both directions and similar in SEA. The LAX-SEA-YLW portion has AS flight...

re: Discussion/Q&A on Best QF Status Run Options Hi guys, your advice/abuse please. Have done some reading but still not 100% sure of my facts so figured I'd ask. Was QF gold for ~9 years due to work and never really paid much attention to it. New job is on a VA charter flight so not getting...
