I thought I'd tap the wise collection of information on AFF about a status run I have planed (still waiting ascension through the upper house of dictators :()

So far it's
Day 1: SYD-BNE-TSV (JASA)
Day 2, 3, 4: TSV-BNE-DRW-BNE-TSV (JASA)
Day 5: TSV-BNE-SYD (red-E Deal)

Now what would happen in terms of irrops and say the DRW-BNE leg on Day 2 was cancelled. That'll throw every other flight after it out, as there's only one option to fly TSV-BNE-DRW-BNE-TSV in the one day. Will I be able to schedule all remaining flights forward a day and cop the cost of an extra night accommodation or am I SOL and the run ruined?
 
Since everything is around getting to / from TSV, if irrops happened you could always ask to get back to TSV anyway possible, since this is the start / end point for your JASA's and red-e-deals.
If the new routing was more SC's than before then you have a win, if they are less you can always then ask for original routing credit.

Even if IRROPS occur and they get you to your destination some other way, put in for original routing credit and you should be fine :)

I'm aware of ORC and that I can ask to get back to TSV anyway possible but unless I've been looking in the wrong places there's no way to get back to TSV before the start of the next trip the next day at 5:50am which would be on a different PNR.
 
I generally found that during irrops, they can be pretty flexible, including placing you onto connecting flights via other destinations or to other destinations (within reason). You could also state that your reason for visiting TSV will be missed and thus now going either DRW-BNE (when it takes off) and then BNE-SYD on your red-e-deal is a valid option (again get ORC)

Personally however I wouldn't stress too much about it. They don't like cancelling or delaying flights as it throws all sorts of things out.

Not stressing too much about it, just trying to get all my bases covered, as after this it'll be pretty hard to come by another opportunity to get my butt to WP in the near future. That option may be well if that occurred on the fourth day but what happens if it happens on the second or third?

It looks like if TSV-BNE or BNE-DRW is cancelled, I'm up !@#$ creek as well...

That is one mean Status Run. Are you trying to hit WP1 in five days lol ?
Almost doable with a DSC ? Each of the runs on says 2-4 is 280 SCs without a DSC ?

Was a run for WP on a 1.5 offer. Doesn't matter anymore as the house of dictators have killed it. Third time in 18 months that they've done backflips on passing the motion. :(
