205 Point Status Run

[thunderchild]

Hi All

I'm going to be 205 points shy of making platinum for the first time. Any suggestions for a status run? Is this something I could conceivably do this weekend?

It's certainly possible, it all depends how much you are prepared to spend (points / $$$)?

Welcome

Would have been better booking pre Dec-31 when double status credits were on offer.
Certainly possible subject to availability.

Depending on where you are based will determine what might be available.
Do you have any Frequent Flyer points that you are willing to spend?

Suggest taking a look at the length Successful Any Seat thread.

Thanks - I should have posted that too.
If spend $500 - what would be the ballpark points required?
I'm in Sydney if that helps too

 

[thunderchild]

I've got over 100k points that i'd be willing to part with

Join the rest of the AFF status chasers up here in TSV

SYD xBNE TSV return in J will get you 200SC

OR if your feeling very board and really like planes... get a cheap cheap SYD-ADE fare then book your J run ex ADE xBNE TSV for 240 SC return.

Or if it doesn't have to all be this weekend then Plan A above and a quick Red-eDeal up to OOL or MEL will get you another 20 SC.

Ensure that you read all the stuff on the special number to call, what to say and how many points and $ it should be .

As mentioned above the SYD-BNE-TSV run will cost 48k points + $350, but will earn 200 SCs and 6k points.

ADE should be ADL, of course

ADE should be ADL, of course

Indeed... otherwise you'd need to visit Yemen first to route yourself ADE to BNE :shock: In my defence I was typing on iPhone during back-to-back latte's at the awesome Coffee Dominion here in TSV in the middle of my own January DSC run.
